FAQs
What Fluval filter models is this impeller compatible with?
This impeller (A20061) is compatible with Fluval 104, 204, 105, and 205 series external power filters.

How often should I replace my filter impeller?
Impellers are typically replaced when they show signs of wear, such as reduced performance, increased noise, or visible damage. This can vary depending on filter usage and water conditions, but inspecting it during regular filter maintenance is recommended.
Can I use this impeller in a different Fluval filter model not listed?
It is strongly recommended to only use this impeller with the specified Fluval 104, 204, 105, and 205 series filters. Using it with incompatible models may result in poor performance or damage.
What does 'magnetic impeller' mean?
A magnetic impeller utilizes a magnetic drive system where a magnetic rotor is connected to the impeller blades. This rotor is driven by a magnetic motor in the filter, allowing for a seal-less design and efficient operation.
What are the 'straight fan blades' for?
The straight fan blade design is optimized for efficient water propulsion, ensuring that the filter moves water effectively through the media and back into the aquarium.
Troubleshooting
Filter is not running or is making excessive noise after replacement.
Ensure the impeller is seated correctly in its housing and that no debris is obstructing its movement. Double-check that the filter canister is properly sealed and that the motor shaft is aligned with the impeller.
Reduced water flow after replacing the impeller.
Verify that the correct impeller model (A20061) was installed and that it is compatible with your specific Fluval filter series. Check for any blockages in the filter intake or output hoses.
Impeller does not fit securely.
Confirm that you have the correct Fluval filter series (104, 204, 105, 205). If it is the correct series, the impeller may be faulty or there could be damage to the impeller housing.
