The Eheim ECCO external filter is so named because of its highly economical and efficient performance levels. As an external filter it remains outside the aquarium to retain as much space as possible within the tank, whilst still providing top quality performance.

The filter canisters contain media baskets, which come complete with media. However they can be easily removed for cleaning and refilling. The size of the filter determines the number of baskets: ECCO Pro 130 has one basket, the 200 model has two and the 300 model, three.

The ECCO runs quietly and causes minimal noise disturbance. This is thanks to the ceramic components which run quietly and smoothly.

The filter has rotating shut off taps supplied which make using the ECCO more convenient, and water flow can be controlled by turning the outlet tap.

The excellent level of water flow means that water is pumped speedily to the filter media, a pre-filter removes dirt from the water before the included filter media removes all pollutants and debris leaving the water clean and clear. The use of the pre-filter means that less waste reaches the media, so they keep cleaner for longer. This saves you both money and time.

Carrying the filter to the sink is easy with the multi-function handle. It can be used for carrying, as a lever for opening/closing or priming. It has a safety catch too, so remains secure at all times.
