ehiem replacement part questions

[cornbread_5]

ok I have an ehiem classic and an ehiem pro 2. my question is can you use tubing and intake and out take from other canister filters as replacements parts?

Absolutely. Try and get hoses the same size or slightly larger. The larger diameter hose you use, the less suction the filter will have at the inlet so mechanical may suffer a bit if you go too large, FYI

i can get the tubing no problem but my concern is the intake and out take

What do you mean by intake and outake? Do you mean the attachments like the spray bar and intake strainer or in/out on the filter? Both of those items would require the same OD (outside diameter) hoses. You would likely need to create your own if you do custom size hoses.

the hose will be the same diameter and yes the strainer and the spray bar
