Fluidra - Air Purge Tube 6 mm × 430 mm for Alicante & Corona Sand Filters

Fluidra – Air Purge Tube 6 mm × 430 mm for Alicante & Corona Sand Filters

This is the genuine Fluidra OEM air-purge/bleed tube measuring 6 mm in diameter and 430 mm in length. It fits inside the top-valve assembly of compatible Fluidra sand filters, channelling trapped air out of the filter tank to maintain stable operating pressure and consistent water flow. As a discontinued original spare, remaining stock is strictly limited.

Compatibility

This tube is a direct factory replacement for the Fluidra Alicante Filter Ø600 1½” 2.5 kg/cm² Top Valve (ref. 00560) and the Fluidra Astral Corona Top Valve sand filter (ref. 04589). Always cross-reference your filter’s model number and exploded-view diagram before ordering to confirm fitment.

Why Genuine Matters

As a precision-length internal component, even a small difference in diameter or length can compromise the valve’s air-bleed performance, leading to air locks, pressure fluctuations or incomplete backwashes. Using the genuine Fluidra part ensures the exact 6 mm bore and 430 mm cut length specified by the original design, keeping your filtration system running safely within its 2.5 kg/cm² rated pressure.

Installation

Replacement requires partial disassembly of the top multiport valve head. Isolate the pump, relieve system pressure, and remove the valve bonnet to access the internal tube routing. We recommend having a qualified pool technician carry out the work, particularly on pressurised systems. Because this part is discontinued, securing a spare at the time of purchase is advisable to avoid future downtime.
