Fluval A20061 X06 AquaStop Valve

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!

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.

Not a good quality one. It broke, while fitting

Perfect replacement piece for my fluval 306

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.

Worked great. Exact fit.

They are made of plastic so wont last as long for the price

Like I read somewhere else....If part were made from metal; Itd never break!!!!!

Fish aquarium

I needed this ASAP for my fish tank and Fluval didn’t disappoint. I received it a day earlier than expected! I put it on and now my fish and I are happy again!
