The Eheim 6664 Prefilter is designed to enhance the filtration efficiency of your external aquarium filter by trapping coarse dirt particles before they reach the main filter. This helps to prevent premature clogging, extending the lifespan of your primary filter media and reducing maintenance frequency.
It features an all-round suction design for gentle tank filtration and consists of two filter baskets with dedicated aquarium filter cartridges.

3. Betjening
The Eheim 6664 Prefilter operates passively as water is drawn into your external filter. Its design allows for water to enter from all sides, providing comprehensive mechanical filtration. The internal sponges capture larger debris and particulate matter, preventing them from entering and clogging your main filter media.
4. Vedligeholdelse
4.1 Cleaning the Prefilter
Regular cleaning of the prefilter is essential to maintain optimal flow and filtration efficiency. The frequency of cleaning will depend on your aquarium's bioload and debris levels, but typically every few days to once a week is recommended.
- Turn off your external aquarium filter.
- Carefully remove the Eheim prefilter from the intake tube while it is still submerged in the aquarium to minimize mess.
- Press the grey button on the side of the prefilter to separate the two filter baskets.
- Remove the white filter sponges from each basket.
- Rinse the sponges thoroughly in a bucket of old aquarium water (water removed during a water change) to preserve beneficial bacteria. Avoid using tap water directly, as chlorine can harm beneficial bacteria.
- Clean the plastic filter baskets of any accumulated debris.
- Reinsert the clean sponges into their respective baskets.
- Reassemble the prefilter by aligning the two sections and pressing them together until they click securely.
- Reattach the prefilter to the intake tube in your aquarium.
- Restart your external filter.
4.2 Udskiftning af filtermedie
While the sponges are designed for long-term use and can be rinsed repeatedly, they may eventually degrade or become too saturated with fine particles to clean effectively. Replacement sponges are available from Eheim. Replace them following the cleaning steps above, simply substituting old sponges with new ones.
5. Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced water flow from external filter | Prefilter sponges are clogged with debris. | Clean the prefilter sponges as described in Section 4.1. |
| Prefilter detaches from intake tube | Improper connection or tube size incompatibility. | Ensure the prefilter is securely attached to the intake tube. Verify compatibility with your filter's intake tube diameter. |
| Water remains cloudy despite prefilter use | Prefilter is for coarse debris; main filter or other issues. | Ensure your main filter is functioning correctly and its media is clean. Check water parameters and consider other causes of cloudiness (e.g., bacterial bloom, fine particulates). |
