Fluval 11081 Medium Gravel Cleaner Review

Functional but not very good. Such as: hose length; vacuum tube length; adjustable flow rate Dislikes, vacuum hose not tight on body causing it to slip and/or air entering the siphon hose and breaking the vacuum; The siphon pump does not always work, the valves easily get stuck in the open position.

I can't put water through these. I use another one at work that doesn't use a pump. To do this, I simply suck on it and the water flows perfectly through the hoses.

The flow regulator is very handy because when I'm sucking in the sand I don't really want to pull the sand out of the tank, I just want to break it up so some algae get into the sand and down the pipe. When I'm done…

Excellent gravel cleaner. The quality is high, the price moderate, it works well. Best of all, it comes with Quality of Life features that set it apart from other similar products. Whoever designed this vacuum knew what they were doing because the little features (blow start, bucket clamp, flow control, etc.) really set it apart from other vacuums.
