Aqueon Water Flow Control Valve Assembly

I ordered this on a Friday, it showed up on Sunday, can't complain about that at all. It was just what I needed, the piece that holds the drain hose to the main valve broke on mine, thought I would have to buy a whole new system, but thankfully Chewy carried this replacement part.

It was hard to find a replacement for the head of my equipment. I looked every where they had weak plastic that would have failed fast. This is great PVC like material with good fitting parts with zero leaks. Again Chewy you sent me what I wanted, when I wanted and great priced!

Very satisfied with this item. The shipping container and filling protected the item preventing damage.

It is wonderful to be able to purchase replacement parts without having to repurchase the entire pump because one small piece has been misplaced! Very happy going to order another for a back up just in case! Life saver. The two day shipping can't be beat!

I have gotten a few of these attachments because they crack or they just spray all over when you turn the water on. Great concept but the product is not built to last more than a 6 months to a year. You can find third party sellers that sell metal replacement parts but that will only help for a little bit.

So I bought this part to replace my old one. The old part cracked in a little under a year. I am very careful with the Aqueon hose because I know all of it's parts are plastic. But even after being extremely careful, it still broke. They need to make one out of metal. Unfortunately the only ones I see are plastic. It also leaks in various places, so I have to wrap a dishrag around it, just so water does not spray all over the place. So much for all the rubber washers for each part. Also was hard to figure out how to secure and tighten the hose to this piece. No instructions. If this were made in metal & did not leak, it would be an outstanding product. No more bucket water changes. And it gets So I bought this part to replace my old one. The old part cracked in a little under a year.

Aqueon should make at least the replacement out of metal and then charge a bit more. It would be worth it. Because I guarantee this is not the last replacement I will need to buy. … more

This product is amazing as it eliminates the need to be part of the "bucket brigade" for water changes. That is why I would recommend it. That said, I am on my 3rd valve after less than 6 months. The previous two both broke at the same point which tells me that it is a design flaw. The price is still worth the convenience and time savings by using this water changer system. Go ahead and order two so you are prepared.

I had purchased the entire product but I accidentally broke the connecting piece .so I didn't have to buy another whole product.

Was broken when I got it, and the one before this one lasted through one use.

My old assembly (which I have had for about 3 years) developed 2 cracks. I was delighted to find a replacement on Chewy.com. It was exactly what I needed at an affordable price.
