The New Eheim Ecco 2236, which stands for ''Eheim Convenient Canister Operation'', incorporates the features you want most. Easy handling and setup, low maintenance and high efficiency, multi-stage filtration, all at an affordable price

The multifunction handle, with worldwide patent-pending technology, is unique to the Eheim Ecco filter. This is how it works. In addition to locking and unlocking the filter and use as a carrying handle, it functions as a priming device. After simply connecting the intake and output hoses, and arranging your media baskets, move the multifunction handle down to the start position. The water flow will begin. When the filter is full, just plug and play.

The Eheim 2234 filter comes complete with media, fittings, and valves. The convenient interlocking media baskets allow for versatility in media setup while preventing water by-pass. With proper media setup, a long service life can be expected, on average 3-6 months between cleanings.

The intake and output hose attachments on the Eheim 2236 are designed to swivel 360 degrees to ensure kink-free hose connections. A silicone-based integrated o-ring ensures leak-free secure operation. With a new handy impeller cover, annual impeller maintenance could not be easier.

As with all Eheim canister filters, the Ecco impeller drive is outfitted with ceramic shaft and carbon bearing to ensure silent operation. Eheim hermetically sealed motor technology guarantees efficient low-energy consumption, safe operation with long-life expectancy.

The Eheim 2236 comes complete with filter media for easy start-up. The 2236 External Canister Filter is for aquariums up to 80 gallons. Additional media and filter pads for Eheim Ecco filters can be found on this page.
