Fluidra - Lateral Collector Assembly for Ø900 mm Sand Filter 2½"

Fluidra – Lateral Collector Assembly for Ø900 mm Sand Filter 2½”

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement lateral collector assembly designed for the 31,000 l/h laminated sand filter with a Ø900 mm tank and 2½” outlet, supplied without a selector valve. The collector assembly sits at the base of the filter tank, gathering filtered water through its slotted laterals and directing it to the outlet, while also evenly redistributing backwash water across the sand bed during cleaning cycles.

Compatibility

This collector assembly is specifically engineered for the Fluidra laminated fiberglass/polyester sand filter with a Ø900 mm tank, 31,000 l/h flow rate, and 2½” outlet connection — the version supplied without a multiport selector valve (Fluidra code 00501). Always verify your filter’s tank diameter and outlet size before ordering, as collector assemblies are not interchangeable between different tank sizes.

Why Genuine Matters

Using a genuine Fluidra collector assembly ensures the correct lateral slot dimensions, hub geometry, and material grade (glass-filled polypropylene) are maintained, preserving filtration efficiency and backwash performance. Aftermarket substitutes may compromise the fit inside the tank shell, leading to sand bypass or uneven flow distribution — both of which degrade water quality and can damage downstream equipment.

Installation

Replacement requires draining the filter, removing the top lid, and extracting the existing collector from the tank. The assembly should be seated firmly and centrally before refilling with filter media. Professional installation is recommended for commercial or high-flow systems to ensure correct alignment and leak-free reassembly.
