Have a Eheim 2215 filter. Everything works great, a little noisy though. Comes with sponge only. Regular intake and spraybar.

It's either rattling or there's still air in it.

There are times its dead silent (and working!!) and theres times where it is noisy (sounds like rattling) but goes back to being silent after a while. When it's noisy, it's usually after I service it.

Selling it because I just shut down one of my tanks.

Missing items:
- rubber feet on the bottom
- efisubstrat (bio-filter media)

Same as this one

Selling for $60

Noisy meaning the impeller is rattling? Or just noisy compared to a 2213?

price reduced!


Just to make things clear, the filter WORKS. It's just noisy right after its been serviced and returns to being quiet after some time.

Have the same problem with my 2217, just too lazy to open it up and look at the impeller lol.

I think it might be the design of it. When I had a 2213 and my other 2215 both make noise when I service it. I think its because I don't turn it off properly before I service it.

Nothing wrong with the design. All the new ones are all silent. When it gets worn, the impeller will make noise until gunk builds up on it and buffers the sides.

WOW $60? That's a steal!!! I'd take it off your hands if I could drive right now... god I hate injuries!

What I mean is air gets into it becuase I turn it off first and then close the connectors. When air gets in it, the impeller makes a ton of noise. I think its a design flaw because the classics don't purge air like the pro models or rena filters. It's also a lot harder to prime the filter compared to the pro model or rena filters.

The impeller is very clean and is pretty new.

Are you filling the canisters after you service them? If so, don't. If you left them empty and open the taps, the canister fills to the top and purges all the air. Every time I try to be smart and fill the canister I get an airlock. I've experimented with this a lot with my 2213 and it happens every single time.
