Eheim Filters

[VickiandKev]

Livestock/Equipment make-model-size/Wanted/Exchange/Plants: Eheim Wet n Dry 2229 with all filter media
Age and condition: Probably at least a year old - working condition
Quantity for sale: 1
Reason for Sale: This came with my 6ft tank but I've really fallen out of love with Eheims, and think I'm going to get some big internals or a different external
Delivery or Collection: Collection best - delivery may be possible at buyer's expense
Sales price: £70
Postage & Packaging: N/A
Location: North London - Barnet
Photograph: N/A

This filter is in good working order and when I got it I kitted it out with all new filter media - it's only been run on my tank for a few weeks in total with the new media. The media consists of:
Bottom tray - coarse filter sponge/plastic scourers
Middle tray - medium filter sponge/broken pumice stone/ceramic rings
Top tray - fine filter sponge/polywool

Have extra polywool and scourers than I'll throw in.

This comes with all pipes/fittings to be set up straight away including spray bar and filter guard.

Livestock/Equipment make-model-size/Wanted/Exchange/Plants: Eheim Pro 2 2028
Age and condition: At least a year old - not working properly
Quantity for sale: 1
Reason for Sale: I don't know what is wrong with this - suggested new impeller or shaft needed? Makes a rattling sound and doesn't pump the water. Also moving from externals as I'm sick of soaking my floor!
Delivery or Collection: Collection best - delivery possible at buyer's expense
Sales price: £25
Postage & Packaging: N/A
Location: North London - Barnet
Photograph: N/A

This filter was working when I got it and then one day it didn't work - I can't be bothered to faff around with it as I'm not that keen to have it running on my tank.
It comes with all media (same as above filter) and has been running on my tank for less time than the above filter.
Comes with all pipes/fittings inc. spray bar and intake guard.


Open to offers on both of these.
Am travelling up to the Midlands in a few weeks so can take up there for collection from Walsall if there are any interested parties.


-------------------------------------

ETA: Will exchange part of value of either for Fluval U4, Fluval 4plus, 50watt heater, infra-red heat lamp or congo tetra.

Just PM or text on 07725688633 to make me an offer.

Neither of these filters were purchased by myself - both were purchased from a retailer by the previous owner of my 6ft tank - so no manufacturer's guarantee unfortunately

I would take £85 ovno for both filters

ETA: If you're already an eheim filter owner - perhaps you might also have some use for the fittings/pipework for an Eheim classic filter? We got given that with the tank as the filter was MIA when we bought it, but really have no use for it. Seems a shame to throw it out!

Thanks for your honest reply. To be truthful l am very concerned about the age and history of these filters. The Eheims have a very good reputation but as with any moving part sadly they don't last for ever. Both models have been around for a number of years and have been superseded. With the cost of the parts and the time consumed in sorting the filters out if in the event of them going wrong leads me with a shiver, but half of me wants to take the chance so i would like to take a gamble but one which would cost me no more than £50 for the lot with no come back too you if they should fail. l am working through tonight and weather permitting l could pop over with the cash Thurs or Friday. Could you please TEXT me on either yes or no. If yes could you please leave me with an address or a place too meet. As l say l am not doubting your integrity but i cannot afford to be caught out. thanks Trev

can I see pics of the eheim pro please?

 

[always4lora]

Good price's hope they sell fast

 

[VickiandKev]

Here are photos of the Eheim Pro 2 - hope they are what you were after

Pipes and Bits with it:

Eheim Wet N Dry

ETA: Unfortunately £50 for both is just a little too low

 

[salty pig]

It looks really good any chance of a compromise at £75. Then it will be fair on me on fuel when collecting. Please text me as l will be at work. Text me anytime through the night, might help me to stay awake. Thanks Trev

 

[Haych]

very interested in the pro 2, when are you in the midlands as i could collect then?

would there be anything you'd like to swap for it? i have bogwood, silk plants, juwel powerheasa and juwel backgrounds? also tetratec air pump (for tanks 10-60l)

 

[VickiandKev]

Haych - yes, I would be interested in bogwood and silk plants as I need to furnish my axolotl tank Could you email me some photos of what you have? vicki.ann.moxon(at)gmail.com
I'm in the Midlands in just over a week's time. Plan on travelling up to Walsall on Friday night or Saturday morning

Salty pig - £75 is still a little low for both as the Wet N Dry is in perfect working order and has all new media and all piping you need. It is a bargain at £70 as it is.
Will sell the Pro 2 to Haych as I do need bogwood and silk plants and would rather swap than go out and buy new with the cash.
Will text also

 

[Haych]

am just uploading pics now, will pm them over when done!

 

[VickiandKev]

Lovely - am staying online so I can see
