difference between Eheim 1260 vs 1262?

[tnguyen]

For those that have these. Any physical difference between the two. Ehiem web shows the "pump cover bushing" and the impeller is the only difference.

Does anyone have pic to tell the difference? I have a pump without the sticker and want to know.

If it works... Its simple.. Get 2x 5g buckets. Fill one bucket all the way. Drop the pump in there. Measure where the 1/2 way mark is and time it using the shortest length of hose necessary to fill with. 2.5g fill should take right at 15 seconds for a Eheim 1260. It will take about 10 seconds for a 1262.

Thanks Zulaab for the suggestion.

I'm ordering the pump cover bushing to rebuilt an eheim 1260. I will post pic of both when it comes in for future reference.

According to eheimparts.com the bushing, impeller, and everything is the same. The only differance is the motor housing itself, and even then what is on the inside, and pump cover (impeller cover). The pump cover is differant due to the depth of the impeller well being differant. At least when I had both pump that is what I had assertained. The part you are looking for is the #7443659 (for 1260)

The impeller is actually the same, if you look closely the impeller is different only for the Hz that you motor runs on. I beleive this to be an international differance as the impeller I just bought was for both the 1260 & 1262 60 Hz motors.


FYI, there is even a 1264 avalible, probably in Europe only. It uses all of the same parts as well save for a few. Primary difference is the outlet.

Cool, that is a 1264, and by the lable it is the one that uses the 50Hz impeller

Delock, not to get off topic, but do you know if we can get the 1264 here in the states? I would like to get it as it is more powerfull than the 1262 by about 200 gph.

1260 634 gph
1262 898 gph
1264 1188 gph

The latest I have heard from eheim is that they are thinking about brining the 1264 to the US.
