THANK YOU
for purchasing of your new EHEIM ecco filter which has an impressive range of ad-
vantages in terms of function, handling and quality. Innovative technology combined
with the simplest operation and characteristic design are the outstanding features of
the latest EHEIM filter generation. EHEIM ecco is a result of intensive development,
which does justice to all aspects of the practical requirements of aquarists.
The very shape of the filter signals a new technical concept. The practical carrier
handle is a multi-function lever, and as such, fulfils various functions. It serves to ac-
tivate the integrated priming function , which facilitates start-up during installa-
tion and after cleaning. With the handle the filter can also be opened or closed
easily with a flick of the wrist – at the same time it is safely locked in place .
The device is supplied complete with filter material and is immediately ready for
operation. Practical filter media containers, safety hose connections and shut-off
taps make operation and maintenance child’s play. Thanks to the coordinated relationship between pump performance
and volume, the EHEIM ecco filter ensures reliable long-term cleaning with a permanent circulation and simultaneous
oxygen enrichment of the aquarium water – a guarantee for ideal water cleaning and a successful aquarium hobby.
