Eheim Assembly ?
However, I'm curious about the spraybar attachment. The section with the
rigid 90d tube is attached to the flexible hosing that drapes over the back of the tank. Is there a way to prevent kinking? Is there a 180d rigid piece available that hangs on the tank's back (for the outflo)? Suggestions? I think you're missing a part. My Eheim came with two J-shaped pieces of rigid green tubing, meant to hook over the sides of the tank. One for intake, one for the spray bar.

"Iain Miller" wrote in message ... I've got two 2224s under my 90USG tank. [lots of interesting pre-filtering methods snipped] .......but then its all fairly typical of me really! rgds I. Hi! wow. you have some impressive setup. thank you for your reply. with only 2 chambers what is common thing to do if you need to put in carbon filter to get medication, etc out? I assume you keep the Ehfisubstrat, but do you do a 50-50 ehfimech/carbon split with some thin foam to separate the two levels in one basket? I wonder if anyone has tried mix/match the 2222 and 2224 baskets inside 2224? i guess it wouldn't fit..? linda |

The "Classic" line of filters don't come with that rigid outflow piece. There
is only a small "elbow" piece to curve into the spraybar. My 2217 is the same. I've just let the tube drape over the tank edge, but I might change my mind and buy that "Shepherds Crook" eventually. I'm still getting pretty good flow because the tube isn't kinked too much. If you go to http://www.eheimparts.com/client/homepage.aspx and click on "cannister filters" and you can find your model. You do want to watch how the tubes hang down below the tank... I left the outflow tube a bit too long and discovered it had kinked near the filter and almost completely shut down the flow for a couple days.

Not following you exactly (!) - I thought all Eheims came with two pieces of rigid tube - one is a 180 degree bend for the inflow & the other is what's refered to as a "Shepherds Crook" for the outflow....effects a 90 degree bend back into the tank Have a look at http://www.eheimparts.com/pdf/2224.pdf - look at the bottom left hand corner of the page & you'll see the thing I mean. |
