Get the 2026 - heater breaks by CLAY

Comments: Before buying this one, for more money than the 2026, I had read 1 review that the heater stopped working prematurely. I figured that was just one unlucky buyer... but I was wrong. I should have saved $80 and bought the 2026 without the heater as my 2126 heater stopped working at 2 months old. Other than that, the filter is quiet and works well. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Eheim 2126 Freshwater Filter by SIMON LEUNG

Comments: I had originally ordered the 2026 filter but it was damaged during shipment. I didn't notice it until after the installation when it leaked from the top filter unit. I tried to reorder the same model but was told by MD 2026 has been discontinued. The 2126 is the same as 2026 but with an internal heater. The unit runs very quiet and maintains the set temperature pretty well. I don't like the one piece intake and outlet pipes that came with 2126 compared to the sectional pipes in 2026. It does not offer the flexibility for various tank configurations. I ended up using an old outlet sectional pipe instead of using the one came with the unit. This is the main reason I am not giving it 5 stars. Overall this seems to be a good quality filter. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This is my third one, one for each tank. The filtering and heaters all work great. They cost more but are worth it. If there is a drawback it's the high cost of filter media. But most of it can be used over and over. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I have had Eheim filters for years. They work great. However avoid the thermofilters. My temperature controller started going wacky after two years. I had to dicsonnect it and go to an external unit. Save money and get the 2026 unit. An buy an external heater !!! I still love the filter ! I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Good Filter Heater Combo by Mark

Comments: I like Eheim filters based on experience they are very reliable and provide a nice clean installation. This filter works as advertised but I would have liked an indicator on the unit denoting the heater is active as well as a smaller probe or internal sensor for the temp. One of the reasons I bought the thermofilter was to get the heater out of the tank. It does that but you have to place a probe in the tank for temp display. I would not recommend this product to my friends.
