I hope you haven't purchased it yet.

Quoting from the manual that you can download here:

Output Waveform Modified Square Wave

An Eheim 1048 is not likely to be happy with a square wave for input power. It'll probably get hot and is likely to be damaged.

Many inverters that work fine for electronic devices won't work so well for AC motors.
