After a few years of service, the flow indicator ball of 2026 worn out and rattled so much. I had to take it out and use the filter without. Does this happen to anyone else here or just me? Has anyone found a replacement ball or alternate solution?
Thanks for the link. But this seems to be more like an add on then the replacement part. Some other website is saying "The EHEIM Trough-flow-indicator is simply installed on the over-flow tube of the InstallationsSET 2".
The part you're looking for comes with the retainer ring. Part 7444410. $16.42 US plus shipping. A bit steep for a little ball. They call it a "floater".
I know, and they do not even ship to Canada. I have to do mail box and pick it up. I'll probably just run without it. I am just curious that if someone with same situation has found a "ball" other then Eheim that works.
It is a known problem with this pro model, I have removed one of mine as it was doing the exact same thing, I tried cleaning it and it did not help, you will notice a reduced flow at the outlet once your filter is in need of service. So I felt it was no problem to eliminate the rattle
My 2026 is fine, my 2028 I took it out
hope this helps.
