Using Eheims in series

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have two Eheim 2028's, and I'm wondering if I could run them in series by unplugging them and using a pump?
:confused:
What are you trying to do?
Increase flow?
Would think it pretty easy to build up enough internal preasure to defeat the seals.:confused:

In front of the Eheim's will be two spin down filters (centrifugal filter with a screen) in series, the first with a 74 micron screen and the second with a 30 micron screen. After the Eheim's a washable 5 micron filter followed by a disposable 1 micron filter before the UV and pump. I thought it might be simpler and more economical to do it this way. Also, it may help to maintain or increase the flow rate.

What seals need to be overcome?
