Eheim Professional 3 2080 Help? - Equipment

walterk · 06-17-2012, 05:04 PM

Purchased it used. No manual. Hooked up everything and it ran for a second. Unplugged it to get to other equipment. Plugged it back in. Nothing.

Buyer beware? Yes. ...but might there be something else that I'm overlooking? Is there some sort of automatic shut off if something is not right? I'm looking at my 85 gallon tank right now scratching my head over this. Fish are not happy. I'm not happy.l

I might just end up hooking up two Aqueon 30's and calling it a night.

Any help? Please?

Is the canister full from the initial test? You may need to get the siphon started again.

The shaft broke. I have a spare...thankfully.

Second one broke. I need help on this. See if I can't get some help at my LFS.

It was missing the Pump Cover Locking Ring #7342358. Ordered one.

Here's the manual if it helps.

Jeff, thank you for the reply. I was just totally lost to begin with. Fortunately, I figured it out. I ordered the part from trilbytropicals.com and placed it in the filter...and it works!!! I'm a happy camper.

I'm unsure if the fellow I got the filter from (eBay purchase) had included it in the package. I stored it away for a while until the tank arrived. Set up everything and then I had two impeller shafts break in a row.
