My very good friend was an Eheim rep for a number of years and swears by the technology. ...however, even he says as of late, and he isn't a rep any longer because of it, the protuct has gone way down as of late. New ownership or poor manufacturing or a combination of the two have made Eheim somewhat of an average Joe these days. Customer service is virtually non-existent. ..and again, parts are very hard to come by, especially on discontinued lines like my 2250 ( original)...
For your hard earned money, and this is my humble opinion, you would be better to spend it on a new filter and one that has an equal track record..or similar at least to Eheim.

Parts availability for the"Classic" line is great. They are a really straightforward filter. Never a problem with parts for them in my world.

But sometimes you have to deal with impatient, sarcastic, rude people like me.
Welcome aboard!

Really? I have been trying to get a silicon gasket for my 2250 for ever now...the part I did manage to get on line was a weird ribbed squarish rubber gasket....it fit and sorta works but it isn't the same orange silicon one I wanted.....Do you recommend a link?
Sorry OP for the derail.....my bad.
 
I'm glad I came aboard! Yall seem like some of the most genuine and knowledgeable fish keepers on the net. Everyone on here has recommended the eheim filters (except for boldtogether), and I'm really leaning that way. Just wanna make sure I get the most for my money. Most of all I want the absolute best filter on the market for my fish.

Eheim is the definition of silent....definitely.
if you can pony up just a little more $$ get a new 2262 and wait for the amazing results....
I just spoke to my friend Randy and he has recently been told the Eheim customer service issue is being addressed.....just fyi.
