I'd appreciate any experience on the Eheim Professionel 4+. I've just set up a 350 model and had it running for 3 days.
Priming was a nightmare. I've had fluvals for years without priming buttons and to be honest the Eheim may as well not had it. I gave up trying and just used the tried and tested mouth full of fishy water after using my mouth
Also the filter head had gathered water internally without me knowing so later of when I put it into the cabinet water poured out of the point where the mains lead goes into it. Disconcerting
Looking online suggests that on a quite a few brands of these square headed filters do get water trapped in their motor casings.
I understabd the Professional 3 is of the same design.
It's a new filter that I got for £102 so reluctant to return if they are just characteristics of this model.
Does anyone have experience of these filters please?
