The design is based on Eheim’s extensive background in aquatic filters, with their many technological breakthroughs in this field.
This pump offers optimum filtration combined with ease of maintenance. The square design of the Eheim 2228 professional filter has several practical advantages. It provides greater internal capacity for filter media as well as giving a more secure base to sit on. The filter media containers are the same square shape making them easy to
install and remove. The containers come with retractable handles which give
maximum accessibility to the filter media. It is recommended to use a mechanical media such as Ehfimech for the bottom layer of the filter. Ehfimech is a ceramic tube material which has the dual function of trapping large particles and agitating the water flow before passing through subsequent filter media. The agitating motion of the water greatly increases the efficiency of the filter.
