Fluval A20061 X06 AquaStop Valve

It’s a plastic valve. I clean my filters every month and I’ve had the 406 for 3 years so 36 times I’ve opened and closed it before it went bad. Yes they’re expensive for what they are but fluval makes the best canister filters so I’ll stick with them. I’ll definitely keep a spare from now on regardless of the price. It was a quick 5 minute switch that went smoothly.

Exact fit, no more leaks

This valve works as I hoped.My old one started leaking around the gate that regulates the flow.

This valve is so cheap and fragile. Every time I buy one I baby it in every way and they always leak after 16 months or less. After they fail I exam them as closely as I can and I never see any reason why it should leak. Its the inside!... Made of the cheapest plastic possible. All my leaky fluval valves look new. If you get a good deal with the canister filter they will get you back with this pricey cheap plastic valve several times over.$20.........

does what the old one faile to do

EZ to replace broken part on filter. no

Once new one was installed I experienced no problems of operating valve. The original must be replaced after it had begun to be very difficult to operate - I noticed a piece of plastic broke that holds it in place. The new one is of high quality and works smoothly. I expect it to last just as long as the original, which was many years.

Perfect replacement for the Fluval 306 canister filter. Mine was a little older and had a small leak in it. This piece was an exact fit and fixed the leak issue!

Fluval is Id say the best canister filter you can get. Silent, strong and for the most part trouble free. However nothing is made to last forever. Ive been using it 6 years and Ive had to replace the propeller and the door that encases it. Get an extra because you want to have a backup. This valve...this is one of the main things you must have a backup because this you do not want to leak. Its a vulnerable point. Mine after 6 years is getting very difficult to line up when closing after a filter cleanings. I know one time soon the red lever will snap. I just ordered the backup before that happens. Do yourself a favor and order backups of theses parts ahead of time so you can change it out immediately. You dont want to have to wait for this part to come after it breaks or leaks.
