Description

EHEIM compactON

Strong water movement is the heart of a healthy aquarium—improving oxygen exchange, carrying nutrients, pushing debris into filters, and ensuring stable conditions for fish, plants, and corals. Whether you have a sleek planted tank, a powerful sump system, a marine setup, or a high-flow aquascape, you need a pump that delivers reliable performance without taking up much space. This is exactly what the EHEIM compactON series is designed for: compact size paired with remarkable power.

🌊 Compact Yet Exceptionally Powerful

EHEIM compactON pumps live up to their name by offering a small footprint while delivering flow rates ranging from 170 litres per hour to an incredible 16,000 litres per hour. With nine different models available, you can choose the perfect pump for everything from nano aquariums to large sumps or marine reef systems.

🔄 Adjustable Flow for Maximum Control

Most models allow you to fine-tune the flow rate—an essential feature for customizing circulation in:

• Planted aquariums

• Shrimp tanks

• Sump filtration systems

• Marine tanks

• Breeder setups

• Display aquariums

Models 5000/9000/12000/16000 come with fixed flow outputs due to their high-capacity performance.

🌐 Designed for Versatile Use (Internal & External)

The larger compactON models (2100–5000) can be converted for outside-the-water use, making them ideal for:

• Sump return pumps

• External circulation setups

• Advanced filtration systems

• Marine protein skimmer feeds

This flexibility means the pump grows with your needs and works across different aquarium setups.

🦾 High-Quality Construction for Marine & Freshwater

Marine setups require corrosion-resistant materials, and EHEIM delivers exactly that. The pumps are made using premium materials that withstand saltwater conditions without compromising durability or safety.

⚡ Efficiency Improved by Up to 50%

Compared to the older EHEIM compact and compact+ series, the compactON pumps offer:

• Much better power efficiency

• Reduced energy consumption

• Improved flow dynamics

• Higher delivery head

• Longer service life

This makes them perfect for long-term use in both hobby and professional tank systems.

🔕 Silent Operation Through Ceramic Technology

One of the biggest concerns in aquarium setups—especially those placed in bedrooms or living rooms—is noise. EHEIM addresses this using:

• Ceramic bearings and axes (in models 2100/3000/5000/9000/12000/16000)

• Vibration-reducing design

• Stable mounting with robust suction cups

The result? Smooth, silent, uninterrupted performance.

Every compactON pump includes:

• Robust suction cups for secure mounting

• Suction basket to prevent debris entry

These features make installation simple, reliable, and maintenance-friendly.
