![]() I needed to get another pump for other reason, while I was shopping for pump, I came across Eden 140 at the good price which was only a little bit more than the smaller 135.
Being said, SK181 was originally equipped with ES2800 pump(still said that on skimmer body.) I believe the change was done when they made the 110V model(Skimz only had 220V model last year.) I personally believed ES2000 was originally Eden 135 which was rated for 2000Lph of flow, while ES2800 is Eden 140 at 2800Lph of flow. At least thats my theory. I wanted to try see what the skimmer can do when it's fitted with pump that it was originally designed for, and I needed a pump what will do 500gph. So the decision was made to convert the ES2000 back to regular water pump and Eden 140 to a skimmer pump. There's absolutely nothing wrong with original pump, but I like to try with new thing in this hobby.

Eheim Compact + is re-branded Eden. Eden will be hard to get her North America, but quite easy to get in Asia. Eden version is cheaper than the Eheim version. You are paying less for the name.

![]() Looks like you transfered the whole face of the ES to the Eden.
Is this true? It just fits? Where did you buy the new pump? Definately want some feedback on how it performs. Just in case my pump ever quits.... |

http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/em...Pump+2000.html everything fits without any modification. the Eden version is hard to get here since there's no authorized dealer, or Eheim won't allow that. I am not to sure about it. I had the wife brought me the pump when she was on holiday in asia. if anyone interested I can see if I can get a shipment in.

![]() Thanks for that
Only concern I would have is the Eheim is 31watts and the ES is supposed to be only 12watts |

![]() well.. I am quite sure if ES is fitted to regular impeller, it will use 31 watts. With the needle wheel, the pump is moving less water, hence less power consumption.
