Fluidra - Manifold Assembly for Artic Sand Filter Ø800 mm

Fluidra – Manifold Assembly for Artic Sand Filter Ø800 mm

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement manifold assembly designed specifically for the Artic laminated sand filter with an 800 mm tank diameter. The manifold — comprising a central hub and slotted lateral collector arms — sits at the base of the filter vessel and is responsible for evenly collecting filtered water during normal operation and ensuring complete, uniform fluidisation of the filter bed during backwash cycles.

Compatibility

This manifold assembly is matched to the Fluidra AstralPool Artic laminated fibreglass sand filter range covering tank diameters of 500, 650, 800 and 950 mm. The D800 variant is sized specifically for the 800 mm diameter tank models. Always cross-reference your filter’s model number and tank diameter before ordering to ensure a correct fit.

Why genuine matters

The Artic filter’s collector arms are manufactured from polypropylene (PP) with precisely cut 0.3 mm slots, uniformly distributed to achieve correct water circulation and prevent filter media from passing into the pool pipework. A genuine Fluidra part guarantees these critical slot tolerances and material specifications are met, maintaining filtration efficiency and protecting your pump and pool.

Installation

The manifold assembly must be correctly positioned inside the filter vessel before filling with filter media. Ensure the central hub is properly seated and all lateral arms are fully engaged before carefully pouring in the filtration medium. The filter’s maximum working pressure is 2.5 bar — always verify the system is depressurised and the pump is switched off before carrying out any internal work.
