not a single trace of rust on the shaft and magnet.

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....

This should be the same as ES2000 without the needle wheel.

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.

Ya that makes sense.

If you really want to know how much power it uses, all you need is a clamp meter and a line splitter.

I bought a Fluke 334 and an Extech 480172. You can also make a line splitter with an extension cord by cutting a slit in the cord, but I don't know if you'll get a true reading that way.

Really handy if you want to know how much power you're using. My clamp meter is overkill for the price. Any cheap one will do ya.
All you do is multiply the reading; Amps X Voltage.
Test your house's voltage where the unit is plugged in to get a true usage calculation.
