AstralPool - Filter Manifold Assembly 640 1" - CE04302218

AstralPool – Filter Manifold Assembly 640 1″

This is the genuine AstralPool manifold assembly for the Ø640 Side Filter with Yellow HS multiport valve (SPHS640). The manifold — also known as the collector assembly — is the internal distribution system that spreads water evenly through the filter sand bed during filtration and channels it back out during backwash cycles. It corresponds to position 5 in the official Fluidra exploded-view diagram for this filter.

Compatibilitat

Designed exclusively for the AstralPool Side Filter with Yellow HS, diameters 520 and 640, fitted with a 1½” multiport valve (parent model SPHS640). Always cross-reference the official Fluidra exploded-view diagram for your filter before ordering, as this manifold is not interchangeable with other filter families or diameter sizes.

Funció i disseny

The manifold assembly sits at the base of the filter tank and connects to a series of lateral arms that distribute incoming water across the full cross-section of the sand bed. The 1″ arm connection size ensures correct flow velocity and balanced water distribution, which is essential for efficient filtration and thorough backwashing. A damaged or clogged manifold can lead to channelling, poor water clarity, and reduced filter performance.

Per què l'autenticitat importa

As an OEM AstralPool part, this manifold assembly is manufactured to the exact tolerances of the original component — ensuring a secure fit within the filter tank and a watertight seal to all lateral arms. Aftermarket alternatives may not match the geometry of the SPHS640 tank, risking bypassed water and accelerated wear on surrounding components.
