Fluidra - Sand & Water Drain Plug – Europa Pro Sand Filter Ø500 mm

Fluidra – Sand & Water Drain Plug – Europa Pro Sand Filter Ø500 mm

This is the genuine Fluidra sand and water drain plug for the Europa Pro laminated sand filter (Ø500 mm tank, 21,000 l/h flow rate, 2″ bayonet valve connection). It provides a secure, leak-free seal at the base of the filter tank and is opened to drain both water and filter sand during routine maintenance or media replacement. Replacing a worn or damaged drain plug promptly prevents water loss and keeps the filtration system operating safely.

Compatibility

This drain plug is designed specifically for the Fluidra Europa Pro T/G/P sand filter range with a Ø500 mm tank and 2″ bayonet valve (Fluidra product references 64986, 64987, 64988, 64989). Always cross-reference your filter’s model number before ordering to ensure correct fitment, as Fluidra produces several Europa Pro variants with different tank diameters and connection sizes.

Why Genuine Matters

As an original Fluidra spare part, this drain plug is manufactured to the precise tolerances and material specifications of the Europa Pro filter, ensuring a watertight seal and long service life. Non-genuine alternatives may not seat correctly against the tank thread or withstand pool chemicals over time, risking leaks at the base of the filter.

Installation

The drain plug is removed and refitted by hand or with a suitable tool at the tank’s base drain port. Before removing the plug, ensure the filter is fully depressurised and the circulation pump is switched off. Once maintenance is complete, refit and hand-tighten the plug firmly to restore a watertight seal. If the plug shows signs of cracking or the seal no longer holds, replace it before returning the system to service.
