A question was asked in the attached thread shortcut regarding Eheim Pre filters.
viewtopic.php?f=35&t=9776&start=30#p107171
My filter unit was due for its 4 weekly clean out, so I took some picyies + the following description should answer any questions.
The first picture is of the 2080 head unit - as you are all aware the Eheim 2080 has two water intake pipes, the water passes through the head unit via two rigid plastic pipes (circled in red)
.
These rigid plastic pipes pass throught the prefilter (circled in red) and the water goes into the prefilter holding tray
.
The water then is drawn up through the prefilter and goes down a channel within the canister (circled in blue)
,
the water then passes through the media and enters a reservoir (circled in yellow)
its then drawn into the head unit via the impellor and is returned back to the tank via the centre pipe.
I hope this helps regarding prefiltering.
Regards
Paul.
