Fluidra - Drainage Strainer Nozzle 3/8" for Alicante Sand Filter

Fluidra – Drainage Strainer Nozzle 3/8″ for Alicante Sand Filter

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement drainage strainer nozzle with a 3/8″ threaded connection, designed for use on the Alicante Ø600 sand filter range. It fits into the filter tank’s drain outlet and incorporates a fine strainer screen that prevents sand and debris from passing through during drainage or backwash cycles. Replacing a worn or damaged nozzle restores proper drainage performance and protects downstream pipework from contamination.

Compatibility

This nozzle is a factory spare part for the Fluidra Alicante Ø600 sand filter with 1½” connections and a 2.5 kg/cm² working pressure rating fitted with a top-mounted multiport valve. Always verify your filter’s model number and existing nozzle thread size against this part before ordering, as similar Fluidra filter ranges may use different fittings.

Why genuine matters

Using an authentic Fluidra part ensures the nozzle’s thread form, screen mesh size, and material grade exactly match the original specification. Off-brand substitutes risk poor thread engagement, sand bypass, or premature cracking under pressure — all of which can cause costly downtime and potential damage to the pump. Genuine parts also keep your filter within its original warranty and CE certification parameters.

Installation

Isolate the pump and depressurise the filter fully before removing the old nozzle. Thread the replacement nozzle in by hand first, then tighten with a suitable spanner — avoid overtightening, as the fitting is plastic. Use PTFE tape on the threads for a reliable watertight seal. Check for leaks when the system is brought back into service.
