Fluval A20061 X06 AquaStop Valve

Does what its supposed to do

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

Just what I needed at a great price.

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 part looks great and Im sure it would work well also. However, I ordered the wrong part so had to send this back and get the right one.

Perfect replacement piece for my fluval 306

Easy install

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

I use several canister filters in my aquariums; amongst them Fluval 05 and 06 series filters. The Aquastop feature is a nice addition since you can remove the canister for cleaning without actually having to remove the intake and output hoses for the filter. This necessitates the need to have to reprime the filter after you have returned it to your aquarium. The only caveat is that the Aquastop latch mechanism is cheaply made and usually warps after a year or two, preventing the Aquastop fitting from being properly seated in the canister housing. The Aquastop fittings are not overly expensive, however, it would be nice to have a slightly heavier gauge latch which would prevent this from occurring.

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!
