Fluval 406 Motor Head Maintenance Kit, A20093,Black

Motor Works great there’s no noise whatsoever. It does not leak and it’s a good quality. It fit into my filter with no problem as promised I would purchase it

I've had my filter for about 10 years. For the last 4 it's been sitting in storage. When I went to use it again it kept rattling something awful! I researched what to do. I replaced these parts and the main o ring around the pump housing. When it is rattling it needs new parts. We were ready to throw the whole thing away because it was so frustrating trying to figure it out! I'd read that it's because it's sucking air in from somewhere. Once I replaced this part it has been quiet and I'm happy again! I never knew the impeller and rings needed replaced every so often. Worth it to not have to buy a whole new filter for hundreds of dollars! Fast shipping and products were packed nicely and protected.

This is a great kit that has everything you need to maintain your fluval filter. I’m very pleased with the quality and fit along with the ease of installation.

Since day 1 my Fluval 406 was quite noisy compared to my Eheim Ecco but I could handle it. However, the last time I cleaned the canister, the noise became unbearable. It was a loud rattle I could hear from farther than 25 feet away in the house, pretty annoying in short. There was no apparent damage whatsoever inside or inside the pump so I decided to go for this kit and I did well because, the pump is now running on a "muffled" level of noise which is more than acceptable. Given the power of the pump, I could not expect it to be dead silent but the current "hum" is bearable.

I have purchased these a few times over the last 10 years to replace the worn-out ones in my filters. They make the filters run nearly silent again which is great. The price is a little much especially since all I usually want/need is the new impeller and/or ceramic shaft. It'd be nice if you could get just those for half as much.This time one of the two kits I got came with a broken fin on the impeller. The package was sealed and the pieces wasn't in there so it didn't break in shipping. I think it broke before it was packaged at the factory and it wasn't caught. I re-used my old plastic impeller and snapped it onto the new magnetic base and it worked but if I didn't have one I could re-use I'd have to replace it and I didn't have time to wait.

My Fluval 06 filter's impeller broke and needed replacement ASAP. Fortunately, I had a backup AquaClear 70 Power Filter - 110 V, UL Listed (Includes AquaClear 70 Carbon, AquaClear 70 Foam & AquaClear 70 BioMax as a backup and my fish survived, but I needed to replace the impeller ASAP. I purchased a replacement kit from Monster Pets and it initially arrived in a plastic package with a broken impeller (see photo). I contacted Monster Pets right away and Tom helped me by sending a replacement via Priority Mail. The box arrived on my doorstep, I eagerly opened it, found that there was another layer of bubble wrap protecting it, pumped my fist to the sky and, "Yes!!!" The kit arrived complete and undamaged. Monster Pets is a terrific vendor on Amazon.com and I highly recommend you purchase from them. Six stars!Ok, I'm switching to decaf tomorrow.

It turns out the 406 rebuild kit is the same as the 306 kit except the fins on the pump vanes are 1/8" longer. The benefit of using the 406 kit in a 306 is you will get a slightly high flow rate if that's something you might want.
