I use an eheim classic. I just use the QD on the hoses, suck some water in, and make sure everything is full before restarting. Takes maybe 30 seconds?
To tell the truth if you have the right double taps on your filter pipes you should only need to prime the filter once
When cleaning you turn the filter off close the taps take the filter out clean it put the filter back in and open the taps again and it should fill when it's fully full turn the filter back on job done
Eheim do good double taps you need 2 x doubles one set for the drain pipe and one for the return pipe
I have bigger pipe because I have a bigger unit... It's the green clear pipe now but not the same size as the Eheim pipe. I am going to mess around with it. Can I just pull out the piece that plugs into the canister unit?
