I've finally had enough of my Tetratec EX1200. I only replaced the large O ring a couple of months ago, and today after a water Change I couldn't get it to seal. It chucked a load of water all over the floor. And to top it off, the impeller decided to fall apart!
I've got it running again. Sealed the top with PTFE tape, but with the busted impeller it sounds like a coffee grinder.
Anyone with experience of Tetratec will know these filters are difficult to prime, and messy whilst doing so. And having to shell out on replacement parts regularly is a necessity.
When funds allow I'm going to get a replacement filter. So who can recommend a damn good filter with a similar LPH (or even more) Points I'm interested in are
Easy to prime
Not messy
Easy to maintain
Reliable (tried and tested)
Not to bothered about the cost.
Cheers.
