Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased the 2026 filter in Jan 2009. It worked great for 2 years and now leaks. This is a common complaint of this filter. It is a design flaw in the priming mechanism and non- serviceable O- rings behind the quick disconnect on the filter. It is seldom a problem with the canister seal. That large priming button on the 2026 is the problem. The entire impeller assembly moves with it. Opening the filter head to replace those O rings behind the quick disconnect voids the warranty which seems to be useless anyway. I believe Eheim has corrected many of the issues of the PRO-II line of filters with the PRO-III filter line. The priming mechanism is separate from the impeller assembly and the hose disconnect has been redesigned. For entertaining reading do an online search for the 2026 and leaks. It is quite informative.
For those of you using the Pro-II filter such as the 2026 good luck and keep an eye on the water level of your aquarium.
