FluvalHagen HG Fluval 306 Motor Head Maintenance Kit,white

I needed to improve the performance of our canister filter for a 30 gallon aquarium and this kit did the job. Item was well packed and shipped quickly. If you want to rebuild your canister filter versus buying a new one then use this kit.

Replaced part from the original work greatNothing to discussI still working in my filter great choice

My Fluval external filter stopped pumping water. After determining that it was not air bound, and running it with the hoses disconnected (sitting in a sink), I determined that the pump was in fact not working. A replacement filter unit was about $180, a new power head over $100, I took a chance on this repair kit. It included a new rotor and pump impeller, the pump cover plate, and a new gasket.Noticeably NO instructions came with the small package. It frankly was not an issue. Grab the old impeller unit and pull it out then drop the new one in its place. Repaired unit works like new for about a tenth the cost.I noted reviews that the replacement arrived damaged due to being shipped in a soft envelope. The small packet containing the parts was shipped in an oversized box and arrived in great shape.

I buy one of these kits every year to maintain my pump and keep it from leaking. Easy to install and works great.

I have purchased this set in the past and it is great . This set would have been great, but was apparently broken while either put in the box, or during transit. I immediately returned for another. We will see how that goes. I can’t give a negative review based on a damaged product…yet!

Shipper took the time and went the extra mile to package it securely so the impeller arrived intact. This was the third I ordered and finally it is perfect and not broken.

The three components really do make a difference. Only thing for taking two stars off is that one of the impeller fins was broken...as reported by multiple feedbacks here. Hagen needs to put these parts in a bag for protection or beef up their manufacturing. With one less fin, you will get less output and possibly service life from the imbalance. I needed this part so didn't want to return and play the waiting game.
