Fluval Issues? Your chance to be heard!!

[Ian21777]

I run 2 206's and a 306. Happy with all 3. in the past ive run 205's 305's 405's and back when I started out, the 04 series. Always chose them over eheim cus they were cheaper. never disappointed though. I also run a version of the sunsun uv cannister. happy with that also. maybe if I tried eheim id be blown away but ive no complaints with what I have. only problem ive had was a minor flood from a 206. my fault though. took it out of the box, set it up and started it... only to realise I forgot to put the oring in!!!

What exactly is it about the fx5 you find negative ? The only real problem I've seen is micro bubble

I hate the color of my FX5. Looks way too much like a home depot bucket. Maybe we could get hagen to sell different colors or someone could start making skins for the FX5.

+1

Which occurs from filter pads clogging up, simple fix: clean/ replace them weekly or don't use them.

I find it weird that you're still using them. Are you sure you truly hate them? Seems like you do so why not
sell them? Others who like them will for sure pick them up.

I couldn't wait to get rid of my FX5's and as soon as I planned it all out I went out and picked up two BNIB 2262 and one used 2260.

Everyone has their likes and dislikes. I based mine on what I've experienced with the fluval filters. I really like most of the other Hagen filters.

Yeah, I'm with you I realy like the Aqua Clear and the Fluval C noise or not. I sat for months and debated on what filters to buy....it came down to the price difference between the Fluval and the Eheim like many people and the trouble with our wonderful economy. They have been one issue after another, and you almost have to pull me teeth out to get me to deal with there support. First day $2385.00 in water damage from leaks which the lady at Hagen calmly informs me the warranty only covers the impeller motor and informs me to read the fine print as I'm standing in the lake in my living room. Yeah I just dont have the money at the moment to replace them it would be probably $1200.00 with Eheims which is what I'm buying. I live in Rural Montana the nearest Criagslist is 100 miles away and at that not many folks in these parts have Aquariums. So it's kinda like no place to advertise them and no one to sell them to. If you've seen the show Wilderness I live 20 miles from the people on that show. MY Luck......Love it here though has to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and I come from Maine.

Fluvals have been around for years. Don't know about the 06 models, but all the others have worked great. Each new model was an improvement over the older model. IMO, next to eheims, they are the second best canister filters made. Easy to use, easy to clean. hawkerw, you seem to have as many problems with the fluvals as mr. bigglesworth has with the bulletproof aquaclears. LOL!

Yep that always been my luck of the draw if you continue to read you see my livingroom lake and hagen support story.

I have and run two 305s and a 205 mine get bubbles trapped in them fairly easy IMO but nothing a AC50Ph can't get out

I have the 530gph SunSun version with UV (SunSun makes all Aquatops and Marinelands)


I'll Trade you!!

I've borrowed two 530's to get me buy until I can get the Eheims. In other words as my father would say a gold wish list with a penny pocketbook

Mine blew up and leaked right out of the box over $2000.00 damage
Bypass Issues
My return hose clamp will not close all the way when I go to clean the filter so it leaks into a bucket.
The design to me is poor as well as overall quality
Terrible service
