Eheim 2228

[fry_lover]

I just got a 2nd hand Eheim 2228 with a tank i purchased.

I can find hardly anything on Google about this model, it would appear that it was replaced with the 2028

But i have x2 2028's and even when i clean them out they are not as powerful as this 2228 i have just got!!! The 2228 looks exactly the same size as the 2028 and exactly the same in every way except its got different taps / connectors at the top of the filter.

This is the first time i have EVER had to turn the flow down on an external! It really seems the nuts of a filter!!!

Anyone got one or know the specifications?

Yes the 2228 was replaced by the newer 2028, however they both have the same flow rate 1050L/hr.

thank you,

am puzzled by the flow rate, i got x2 2028's, one was new a few months ago and one was 2nd hand, and on Max flow with cleaned out media they are about 50% of the flow rate from what i can see of the 2228?
