Eheim Pick-Up 45 Internal Filter 45L
The Eheim Pickup filter canister, together with its cartridge, can be removed from above, while the pump unit remains in the tank. This is a very practical solution for cleaning or changing the filter cartridge.
The pump sucks in the water from below and carries it through the filter cartridge to the top. Here the filtered water is directed back into the tank via the rotatable outlet nozzle.

- Built-in flow adjuster
- Rotatable outlet nozzle to adjust flow direction
- Filter canister & foam easy to remove from pump unit from above

Easy to maintain. I removed the filter cartridge without taking the pump out. The flow direction works well and I can adjust it to suit my tank layout. It’s quiet and keeps the water clean.

The filter performs well in my 45L tank. The bottom intake picks up debris from the gravel effectively. I used it with an activated carbon cartridge after a fish illness, and the water clarity improved.

Great design. The rotatable outlet helps me direct water flow to different areas of the tank. I didn’t have to reposition the pump. It’s simple and effective.
