Eheim 2260 pump question

[Ramesh]

I am expecting a new Eheim 2260 anyday now that I won on eBay and I wanted to know if I could use this Jebo 3600L/H water pump instead of the Eheim 1262 3400L/H water pump.
What do you Eheim fans think of this mod for the 2260??
The pump is only $65!!

It looks very similar to the Eheim design and may be a Jebo copy like my Jebo 950 Giant which is a square copy of a 2260 but with baskets and 2262 like output.

Howdy,

Why would you drop a Hyundai engine into a Mercedes? Would it still be a Mercedes? Think about it.

Oh HarleyK!! Your such an Eheim snob LOL, but I am going to give it a try and see any way.
I am going to run the standard pump but keep the Hyundai donk for a spare.
If it doesn't work I have a spare pump for my Jebo 950 which is doing a good job filtering one of my 180g tanks.
It's because of the Jebo I wanted to get an Eheim 2260, just to see if they are that much better than the copy.
I will report back soon about the Hyundai and Mercedes comparison.

No hurry :
Get back to me in 19 years - that's how long my oldest Eheim Classic has been in operation now ... 24/7/365

There's more to pumps than price and gph ...

Silly question.

Just answer: Not work. Due the canister 2260/2262 have a special pipe that fits fine on the Eheim Pump....
