The EcoPlus Eco396 is an awesome aquarium filter pump. I use these pumps on tons of different DIY projects, primarily cheap filters where I need to draw water out of a tank and redirect it back in though various filter styles. I highly recommend this filter pump to anyone who wants to get creative with their own aquarium filter designs.

Actually, the pump is so called submersible, but in this video it is used as centrifugal… will it reduce the lifetime of the that pump.. Answer please, very necessary
Slightly off topic question, would I be able to install an external filter system in order to increase the fish stock in a fluvial age tank?
which fishes are those in silver colour whith a slight yellow touch which comes in the starting??
Could I use one of these as a wave maker ?
how to make Aquarium air pump at home
Great review bro. How are ya?
Two questions: what will the gph. be if I use the 1/4 inch fitting?……And will the 1/4 fitting take semi rigid reverse osmosis 1/4 tubing?
Thanks!! Fish on!
would the 396 be powerful enough for a canister filter in a 40 gallon turtle tank ? I have about 30 gallons of water in it, and turtle filters are recommended to be 3 times the amount of filtration.
I build my own custom cannister filters and am constantly on the lookout for pumps which are energy efficient, reliable, and able to put out the flow rate as advertised. I will purchase this pump and see how it performs. Straight out, the first red flag is the energy used. It’s rated at 36watts to provide 396GPH. That is a huge amount of cost to operate since we all run our filtration 24/7/365. Today the pump sells for $22.60. Compare that to the Quiet One Pro Pump 1200 (Mfg# R440102) which is rated at 17.5watts to provide 317GPH. Today’s cost for this model is $24.53. Keep in mind that the wattage is easily verified if you have the equipment, which is the first thing I test for. As far as the advertised flow rates, I have yet to find any pump put out what they claim. I test with “0” head, “0” friction loss (no piping or fittings involved). Simply passing water from one container to another at the same elevation. My cannister filters are built to accommodate multiple pumps on the one filter. My filter housings last forever. Failed pumps are easily changed out for a new or more efficient model. Think of the way a home heating system is zoned for better efficiency and load requirements. Each branch line’s true GPH coming off the filter is verified by the water returning to the filter from that branch.
I would be interested in seeing a DIY on your canister filter using the Eco 396.
will the 396 work as a return pump on a sump matched with a Eshopps PF300?

Good Stuff, nice video, I learned something…….
I can’t get the ecoplus 396 to operate inline. It works fine when submerged but when hooked up to be used as a siphon it doesn’t have any suction. Any tips?
