The Fluval Motor Seal Ring is a replacement part for the Fluval FX6 High Performance Canister Filter. Yearly replacement of the Motor Seal Ring is recommended. The rubber seal will perish over time and will lead to leaking of canister if not replaced. Clean and lubricate the gasket every three months. Wet the seal ring with water before replacing. Do NOT use petroleum jelly based products.
Fluval first broke onto the aquatic scene in 1975 by introducing the world's first 3-stage filter with synchronous motor technology – a landmark breakthrough that is still applied in the industry today. Since then, Fluval has built a legacy around this pioneering spirit, relentlessly adapting in a changing world to launch innovative aquarium products that remain at the forefront of technology, and which set the bar in quality, style and functionality. Above and beyond its manufacturing role, Fluval prides itself on its charitable and educational efforts that give back to the fishkeeping community, whether it means helping to fund the protection of wild coral reefs or jumping on a plane to document endangered fish species halfway around the world. Fluval's mission is not just about building products that mimic the natural world, but inspiring aquarists of all skill levels to enjoy and respect the hobby for generations to come.
