[jonieeee]

Hi,
Any suggestion between eheim pro 2226 or pro2 2026 ? what is the advantage of 2026 over 2226 (efficiency, performance, reliability)?
Thank you.

cheers,
Jon

2026 has the easy priming feature, where as the 2226 does not. 2026 has a sligtly more user friendly hose connecter.
both have the same filter volume 4.9L, same flow rate 950L/h.
2026 has a 2m Hmax vs 2226 1.8m
2226 uses 25w
2026 uses 20w-25w depending on what you read (20w eheim international web site 25w aquatopia catalog)
2226 is proably better value for money. i dont know how often you'll be using the self prme feature.
