so I got my WC kit and all and the pump is 110V not 220V. dont know why I didnt think about that :temper:

anyway. will the Eheim1250 Pump also fit on the AGB-O-Matic from innovatek?

cause the pumps look like on the pics that they have the same fittings etc. like the 1048 Pump

you can get voltage converters reasonably cheap...

but sadly as AC motors are governed by the frequency of the supply, on our 50hz supply you will get considerably lower performance from that 60hz eheim :( (50hz eheims use a different motor...)

looks to me like its for a 1046/8 only.... the 1250 has a bigger inlet i believe.....

if you check the classifieds there's a guy with a 230V pump who wants a US voltage one - maybe you can work out a deal?
