Hagen HG Fluval 306 Motor Head Maintenance Kit,white

Great maintenance repair for my filter. I should have done it earlier. This has drastically improved the water flow my old filter.

Our Fluval 306 was making horrible noises, even after cleaning the tank. My husband looked on YouTube an they said to replace the motor head, so I found this website and ordered the kit. Ends up, all we needed was to replace the washer, but now we also have the motor head for if or when that goes out.......

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.

This is what I needed because the ceramic shaft on mine broke, but I ended up taking off the little washer that holds it in place because it wouldn’t rotate with it on, and the lid wouldn’t seal! My other one didn’t have the little piece on the bottom.?Now it works like a charm!

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!

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.

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

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.
