Fluval A20061 X06 AquaStop Valve

Direct replacement

Perfect replacement for the 206

If you have a Fluval filter, having an extra Stop Valve is a good idea. The original valve started leaking, on the sides, after about a year in use. We clean the filter at every aquarium clean. Would expect more than one year service before replacement is required. This is a Follow-up to my original review. Having to replace this valve again. It makes me wonder why I purchased a Fluval filter!

excellent replacement for my 306 canister

Works perfectly

This replacement product is exactly like the original part that came with my Fluval filter. Unfortunately I broke a piece of plastic off the original, necessitating the need to order a replacement.

One of these cracked and started leaking. Ordered this as replacement. Fits and works as it should.

I love the actual filter, I hate this cheap easy to break valve. I’ve bought 5 filters, two 206 and three 406, currently only using the 406’s and just had to buy two of these because I broke my last one of two and needed a spare. So I’ve broke 3 total and have only been running them for one year at the most as of May 2019. They break when you are trying to reinstall after a clean. Sometimes it helps to open the filter which lets a little water ( or a crap ton if not paying attn) in or when removing to push the lever down so that water runs in and releases some air pressure.

does what the old one faile to do

Never shutoff water with pump plugged in. This made my last one leak. Replaced with this one and its doing fine so far, one week.
