Review on πŸ’§ Hagen HG Fluval FX5/FX6 Motor Unit: Superior Performance for Optimal Water Filtration by Matt Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than buying a new filter.

Unfortunately my experience with the Fluval FX6 shows that the engine dies after the first year of use. The good thing is that it is very easy to replace. Now I had to replace both motors on my filters. The first was a little over a year ago and is still going on. My new filter lost its motor about a month ago and the new motor is working great again. While I'm disappointed that the original hardware failed like clockwork after a year, I'm glad the replacement seems more reliable.

Pros
  • Surprising
Cons
  • Some Flaws
