Fluval A20061 X06 AquaStop Valve

Bought this as the red piece broke. Unfortunately cant just purchase the red piece has to be the entire thing. Its well greased and no more getting stuck.

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.........

This was purchased as a replacement because I needed one soon to replace the failed original. The idea is great, and as long as it doesnt break - it works great. But the red handle is just too weak. I have had the filter for less than a year, and trying to reattach this unit to the filter the handle broke off. This should be covered under warranty, but there is not enough time to deal with that issue when you have a stocked fish tank. I did manage to get the unit attached and the filter running again by using a screwdriver to push the remaining stub into place. Had this broken any closer to the rotation point, all of our fish would have died. This is a design flaw - plain and simple. The overall design works great, but the attachment of the red handle needs to be much stronger. Given the potentially disastrous results - some of me wants to give it a 1 star rating, but it is possible I just got a bad one.

Perfect

it was a replacement for broke handel. it was packaged but shippin box had no filler to protect product

Fluval is a great filter and this part was easy breezy to install.

My filter works just like new again!

Happy with my purchase, it saved me.

Does its job. Its the manufacturer I take issue with. Its not made well. If you are buying one of these, you prob already know this. Ive had two of these break in less than 2 years. But If you have the filter you need this part.
