Fluidra - Collector Arm Assembly Ø1050 mm – 90 mm Connection

Fluidra – Collector Arm Assembly Ø1050 mm – 90 mm Connection

This is the genuine Fluidra collector arm assembly designed for the Artic D. laminated sand filter range in Ø1050 mm tank diameter. The collector arms sit at the base of the filter tank and are responsible for evenly distributing water during filtration and collecting it efficiently during backwash, ensuring correct circulation throughout the entire filter bed.

Compatibility

This assembly is a direct replacement part for the Fluidra Artic D. Filter series with tank diameters of Ø1050 mm and Ø1200 mm (reference models 41188 and 41189), fitted with 90 mm flange connections. These large-diameter laminated polyester and fibreglass filters are commonly used in commercial and high-capacity residential pool installations. Always verify your filter model and connection size before ordering.

Why Genuine Matters

The Fluidra-original collector arms feature precisely manufactured 0.3 mm slots uniformly distributed across the PP arms, ensuring even water flow through the sand bed and preventing filter media from bypassing into the pool return. A worn or incorrectly sized aftermarket collector can compromise filtration quality and lead to costly sand loss. Genuine Fluidra parts guarantee a perfect fit and long-term reliability.

Installation

The collector assembly is located at the base of the filter vessel and typically requires draining the filter tank, removing the bolted Ø400 mm lid, and carefully extracting the old assembly before fitting the replacement. Due to the size and working pressure of these filters (up to 2.5 bar), installation by a qualified pool technician is strongly recommended. Ensure all gaskets and connections are inspected and re-sealed as part of the service.
