Fluval A20061 X06 AquaStop Valve

One of these cracked and started leaking. Ordered this as replacement. Fits and works as it should.

The valve starts leaking after a few maintenance cycles. Its very annoying and poorly designed.

worked as expected.

First valve arrived broken but they accepted the return with no problems. The second valve arrived undamaged and has been running for 2 months fine.

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.

Works perfectly

I received the part broken. It came in a bubble wrap envelope and the plastic piece was broken when the passage was opened.

This is a replacement for the original part that started leaking after about two years, so as for what I liked most is not having to clean up the water that was leaking from the pump

Could not get the valves to stop leaking.

This replacement has lasted longer than the valve that came with the filter
