Many thanks.

I work at a Pet Shop and can tell you that there are two sizes of the Pro 3 Thermo. My latest Ehiem Purchace was a Ehiem Pro 3e. This is that Micro-Processor bells and whistles thing, works really well, better than expected. I would personaly just put a heater in the tank and get one without the heater, they cost alot more and I have seen the heaters in them break many times.

Hiya,
I have the Pro 3 2080 on a large discus tank. The clarity and water quality is excellent but the noise ( drone ) is driving me insane.
Done all the usual checks : trapped air, kinks/obstructions in the pipework,
overloaded media, ill fitting baskets, faulty impeller/shaft, impeller housing.....you name it I've checked it, but I just can't get rid of the awful drone.
Anyone else experience this type of problem with these filters ?
If so........please do tell !
Cheers
Elaine

There are 2 models of the Eheim Pro 3, 2080 and 2180. The 2180 comes with a built in heater. The Eheim Pro 3e models do not have built in heaters, yet. The Pro 3e's are the electronic versions, that automatically expel trapped air, wave function, etc.
As far as heater malfunctions on the Pro 2's, I guess any heater can fail. Electronics can. Fortunately for me, I had no problems with mine and I've owned my Eheim Pro II 2128 for over 5 years. I remember reading a thread on another forum that the Eheim there was a problem with the heater controller part in their older models. I guess I have a newer one, since I never had any problems.
