CLEANING AND CARE
Wash out the filter media at regular intervals and replace it after every 2 - 3 cleaning operations. You will
notice that it is time to exchange the filter material when the water outflow of the filter reduces no-
ticeably.
For initial operation the filter contains a carbon pad, which is used for adsorbing residues of cleaning
agents, amongst other things. Remove the carbon pad after approximately 2 weeks, since the
cleaning power is then exhausted.
First close the shut-off tap on the suction side "IN " and then the tap on the pressure side "OUT" be-
fore you unplug the device from the mains (Figs. H - J). Unscrew the threaded sockets of the taps to
separate the hose system from the filter. Then the filter is opened by means of the multi-function
handle, as described above.
Remove the filter media containers which are completely interlocked with each other (Fig. N) and can
be separated by a slight twist (Fig. O).
Remove the foam pads from their containers and rinse them in lukewarm water. The white filter pad for
fine filtering is inserted as top layer and must be renewed during each cleaning process ( order
no. 2616315).
Then interlock the filter media containers again and lock them by a rotating movement.
The EHEIM ecco filter is particularly suited to water treatment by layer filtering which is approxi-
mately 30% more efficient than the method with standard filter media. For this purpose we recom-
mend EHEIM filter media with mechanical, biological, adsorptive or chemical functions.
The layers in the filter inserts are always arranged according to the displayed model (see cover page).
Pump chamber, ball valve and sealing ring
chamber, ball valve and hoses in order to ensure the perfect functioning of your filter.
The pump chamber can be opened by pressing both cover plates together and simultaneously pull-
ing upwards by the bearing (Fig. Q). The pump wheel, chamber, cover and cooling channel are cleaned
with a soft brush (order no. 4009550). Afterwards the cover is pushed back onto the pump head until
the spring catches lock.
The ball valve is accessible when the pump chamber is open. It ensures automatic sealing during the
suction phase when the filter is started up. Pull out the ball cage (Fig. S), extract the ball and clean
the parts with a soft brush. When replacing the ball make sure that it is mobile.
To ensure proper functioning of the multifunction handle the o-ring must be dampened or lubricated
with vaseline. If it becomes more difficult to move the multifunction handle after a while you should
renew the o-ring (order no. 7312738).
For a convenient cleaning of the hose system of your aquarium we recommend the EHEIM Universal
cleaning brush – order no. 4004570.
