Eheim Repair Kit Priming System for Professional 3 & 4+ Canister Filters (8002160)

The Eheim Repair Kit Priming System (8002160) is a genuine OEM repair kit containing the priming button and mounting plate needed to restore the priming system on the Eheim Professional 3 and Professional 4+ external canister filters. The priming system is the push-button mechanism that allows the filter to self-prime without siphoning — when this system fails, becomes stiff, or stops functioning, the filter can no longer prime correctly and water circulation stops.

This kit restores full push-button priming functionality so your filter starts reliably every time — without manual siphoning or disassembly.

Important notes:

• This kit contains the priming button and mounting plate only — no seals or screws are included
• This kit is not compatible with the Eheim Professional 3e range — for Pro 3e and 5e models, order 8002104 instead
