Fast shipping and exactly what was represented. Thank you.

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!

Great replacement for my leaking valve on my 306. If you have to replace yours, I suggest ordering the o-ring for your filter at the same time. 2 birds 1 stone kind of thing.

Perfect fit to replace my malfunctioning valve on my Fluval 306.

Product as described. Original piece.

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.

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.

my original started to leak because my Cichlids kept moving my beach sand into the intake. These replacements are just like the original as far as i can tell and went on my fluval 306. Came with the orings.

Works Great!
