EHEIM professional 3 1200XL Canister Filter

EHEIM professional 3 1200XLCanister Filter

An ingenious innovation: the water is sucked in through two inlet pipes, filtered and flows back into the aquarium. For perfect heating of the aquarium, consider the EHEIM ThermoControl Heaters (sold separately).

Top class filter technology with several advantages

The EHEIM professional 3 is the highest level of our professional external filter generations. With a square base for stability, the filter has a large filter volume but fits into corners and needs less space.

Suction aid
No more complicated suction methods! With the suction aid, the filter canister is filled and immediately ready to start.

Safety Hose Adapter
Hose adapter with 3 hoses. For safety reasons, the hose adapter can only be released when the valves are closed.

Prefilter
A large prefilter, positioned in the top of the canister, retains coarse dirt and can be cleaned quickly between maintenance intervals. This protects the biological filter material in the other 3 filter baskets, providing a much longer service life.

Filter baskets
The filter baskets can be filled individually and are easily removed for cleaning.

Quiet operation
EHEIM High-Performance Ceramics, i.e. components made of high-performance ceramics (impellor axles and bearings), mean exceptionally quiet operation, high load capacity and extremely long service life.

Ready for connection
All essential accessories are included: suction pipe, nozzle pipe, outlet bend, EHEIM quality hose, pre-filter tray and installation accessories.
