Eheim Pro 3 2075 canister

[JimmyG]

Greetings all,

I received my Eheim 2075 canister yesterday. While I was unpacking and checking out all the items, I heard a rattle noise coming from the head canister when I turned it over...not sure if it's normal or something is loose or a broken part. I'm sure there are many parts inside the head canister but this rattle noise was constant by turning it over.

I called customer support left a message but unfortunately no one called back yet.

I really appreciate it if anyone can help out that has this or similar model.

Thanks
Jim

Most all canister filters use a magnetic drive impeller. This means the the only thing connection the impeller to the motor is a strong magnetic field. I would guess that if you remove the impeller cover and the impeller the noise will probably go away.

P.S. I really like my 2075. It is only 2 years old but has never given me a single problem.

Hello and thanks for your reply.
This was the first thing I checked was the impeller assembly. Took it out and everything seems fine. While it was out I turned it over and it made the same exact rattle noise. I just checked the maintenance guide and the only thing I could come up with is maybe the float valve/bracket might be making this noise? I will take it apart and see.. tired of waiting on CS. Thanks again.

It's confirmed.. the float valve on the bracket. Now the fun part finally begins.

My 2075 is pretty much the only filter I have used that has a priming button that actually works. I usually fill the filter up with water before sealing the top and putting it on the tank. The priming button seems to get'er going pretty quick.

Enjoy!
