Fluval A20061 X06 AquaStop Valve

Good replacement parts!

Works as expected fast delivery

Was just what I needed pump is working great!

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.

Perfect replacement piece for my fluval 306

Was leaking and stopped it almost entirely!!

Great to be able to buy this spare part instead of a whole new pumping system.

Item arrived broken

Ive had my Fluvial 306 filter for 2 1/2 years, and it provides more than adequate filtration for my 46 gallon cichlid tank. I do water changes every two weeks or so, and I clean the filter every other time. The AquaStop valve provides a convenient way to disconnect the filter for servicing without disturbing the intake and output lines. However, the red latching lever is made of flimsy plastic, and within a few weeks of use it became difficult to close. Finally, after wrestling it around and trying to seat the latch, it broke. Although its still technically under warranty, by the time i process the claim, my tank will have been without filtration long enough to kill the fish. This replacement part, even if ordered overnight on Amazon, would still have left me with a stagnant tank for a day or two -- too long, in my opinion. So I went over to my local Pets Mart, where Id purchased the filter, only to discover that they dont carry replacement parts. So I had to buy an entire new filter. The valve was easily replaced by unscrewing the red collars and pulling the hoses free and reconnecting the new valve. (Youll have to disconnect the intake hose near the top and lower your water level below the outflow so that water doesnt drain out when you disconnect the valve -- just catch the water from the hoses in a bucket). ts all working fine now, but, as many others have noted, the parts are pretty flimsy, and replacement can be pricy if you dont have a spare on hand.

Received this a day or so sooner than expected. I wish that this part was sold locally, but aside from that, everything is great!
