penguinleo Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I does anyone know where to place any pouches (such as nitrazorb or purigen pouches) in this filter? Here's a pic to make things easier. Help will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoban Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Put a lil less of the ceramics and balls in and there should be room on top of where they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinleo Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I see...how about the empty space right at the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoban Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Running 2217 Classics myself and wouldn't suggest putting anything in the bottom spacer myself.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinleo Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 So if a pouch needs to be placed in the most last bit of filter media where would it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 under the white filter wool.Be very careful as any pouches knock the hell out of the volume flow rate of eheims(from my experiences) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoban Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Basically wher I suggested above the pad that sits on the balls at top as the water acually feed from the bottom up through the filter. Taking a lil of the ceramic out will lower the position of the Blue pad and a lil of the balls will lower the white pad leaving room on top of it for the Pouch of Purigen etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinleo Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Damn...Ehiem filters have a reputation for their strong continuous flow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoban Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 The flow rate drop would be similar in any cannister, unless it was a poor design and the water was flowing around the pouch that is and in such case pointless to be in the filter as it is only taking space. Idea would be to have the pouch cover the entire surface of the filter like the pads do and be evenly spread as to stop from having "bypass holes".

Glenn Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damn...Ehiem filters have a reputation for their strong continuous flow... Yeah,until you change what they are rated to do.I've used pouches in them-just that they do slow down the flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
