Review on πŸ”§ Optimized Impeller Assembly for Fluval FX5/FX6 Canister Filters by Natasha Weston

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Missing parts and poor assembly

Missing o-rings and tool to pull out the old bushing. Then there was a sleeve between the magnet and the impeller, which did not press against the impeller. At first I thought that compared to my other FX5 and FX6 impellers I already have, I thought the replacement was just a newer model with a spacer between the impeller and the magnet to keep the magnet from moving moved forward. But after filling the canister and noting that the impeller was not spinning I had to disassemble the canister again and found that the impeller wasn't even spinning off the canister which after a quick inspection found out that it appeared to be one Spacers acted only as a bushing that had to be moved forward. Hope it doesn't get lost along the way.
