Fluval A20061 X06 AquaStop Valve

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

Works perfectly

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

As usual, they work great, for a while, and then they go South. Im gradually switching over to different filters because of all the parts you have to continually replace on the Fluval filters.

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.

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.

Ive had 2 fluval 406s running for 8 or 9 years. Each time theres an issue its this part that resolves it. Ive only had to purchase it 3x for the 2 in that span. Even if its not leaking the air tight seal may not be air tight after a while

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.

Plastic parts just dont cut it. Im stuck with a lemon.

Perfect replacement if you have a flu all product that uses this it works flawless.
