It is not interchangeable with the 107, 207 or 407 — each of those uses its own motor head kit with a different part number. If you're not sure which canister you own, the model number is printed on the label on the side of the canister body. Fluval sells the matching kit for the 407 (part A20097) separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x magnetic impeller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x ceramic impeller shaft with rubber shaft support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x impeller cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x motor head gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot included: the motor head housing itself, the canister body, hoses, or media baskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for Fluval 307 owners doing scheduled annual servicing, or fixing a motor that has become noisy, lost flow, or developed a slow weep at the motor head seam. Not a fix for a cracked motor head housing, a failed motor winding, or flow loss caused by dirty media or a blocked intake strainer — check and clean those first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFluval recommends replacing the impeller assembly and gasket roughly once a year as part of routine canister servicing, more often in hard water areas where mineral build-up accelerates wear on the ceramic shaft. Rinse the new impeller before fitting and check it spins freely by hand before closing the motor head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovered by Fluval's standard replacement parts warranty against manufacturing defects, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

The motor head lifts off the top of the canister without draining the tank or disturbing the media; the impeller, shaft and cover then lift straight out for replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill this kit fit a Fluval 407?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The 407 uses a different motor head kit, Fluval part A20097, sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow often should I service the motor head?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnually is a reasonable default for most tanks; more often in hard water, or as soon as you notice extra noise, reduced flow, or a small weep at the motor head join.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fluval","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55293306241315,"sku":"FVL53","price":91.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/FVL53_2.jpg?v=1782879981","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/fluval-motor-head-maintenance-kit-307","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
