The Eheim Mech is a pre-filter material made of ceramic hollow bodies for coarse dirt particles.
After the water has entered the filter circuit, the water is swirled through the ceramic hollow body, which reduces coarse dirt particles. The pre-filtered water thus prepared continues its way through the further filter layers (see explanation below).
The Eheim Mech is easy to clean and reusable, suitable for fresh and saltwater.
Mechanical filter media retain suspended matter and dirt particles. This happens in different stages: At the beginning, before the water goes through the further cleaning process, the pre-filter masses EHEIM MECH and EHEIM MECHpro prove their worth. EHEIM FIX is suitable as a separating layer between mechanical and biological filter media. And for fine filtering at the end, before the water enters the aquarium again, the filter wool EHEIM SYNTH is ideal. All products can be found here at Olibetta!
