Fluidra - Water Distributor 2½" for Volcano Sand Filter Ø1050–1200 mm

Fluidra – Water Distributor 2½” for Volcano Sand Filter Ø1050–1200 mm

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement water distributor for the Volcano commercial sand filter in Ø1050 and Ø1200 mm tank sizes. Fitted internally, it evenly distributes the incoming flow across the full cross-section of the filter bed and collects filtered water during normal operation, ensuring consistent filtration performance throughout the tank. The 2½” connection matches the large-bore pipework typical of these high-flow commercial installations.

Compatibility

This distributor is designed specifically for the Fluidra Volcano sand filter series in Ø1050 mm and Ø1200 mm tank diameters. Always verify your filter model and tank diameter before ordering, as Fluidra produces distributors in multiple sizes for different filter ranges — this part is not interchangeable with smaller Volcano models or other filter families.

Why Genuine Matters

A correctly functioning distributor is critical to uniform flow distribution across the sand bed. A damaged or ill-fitting distributor causes channelling, poor filtration efficiency, and excessive turbidity in the pool water. Using a genuine Fluidra part guarantees an exact fit, correct flow geometry, and materials rated for the pressures and chemistries of commercial pool environments.

Installation

Installation requires draining and opening the filter tank via its access lid or manhole. The distributor is secured to the central riser pipe and must be properly seated and sealed before the tank is refilled. Given the size and pressure ratings of commercial Ø1050–1200 mm filters, this work should be carried out by a qualified pool technician.
