eheim 2262

confusing the red lable on the box says 2262 120 v the box says 65 w it dose have all the quick connect valves. The pump is not a problem I have ordered both 1260 65 W and a 1262 80 W may use the 80 W one for water changes.

The only difference between the 2260 and 2262 is (usually) the pump model and inclusion of the QD valves and maybe some filter media.

Double check the label on the pump to verify which you actually got, though that's a moot point since it's 120V.

It's been awhile and the original box is in storage but I think my 2262 came in an old 2260 box with a new sticker saying it was a 2262 with QD valves and media.

I have one and prefer it over all other standard canisters for large tanks. That said, canisters are a real pain to maintian. Your tank is big enough for a small Ultima 1000. The ability to backflush it easily and clean the filter at the same time is a whole new level of convenience. One day I’m going to replace my eheim 2262 with the smaller ultima.

Got the uk spec pumps today I will use the 1260 for water changes saves me having to put the actual pump in the tank got a 9-12 week wait for the tank to be built.
