This is the genuine Fluidra replacement pressure gauge and drain valve set designed for the Astralpool PTK 1200 series commercial fibreglass sand filters in the \u00d81000 mm and \u00d81200 mm tank diameters. The set bundles the pressure monitoring component and the tank drain valve together, providing everything needed to restore both functions in a single order. Please note this part has been officially discontinued by Fluidra \u2014 stock is limited to remaining inventory.<\/p>\n
This set is specifically listed under the ARM Filters PTK 1200 M\/M assembly for tank diameters of 1000 mm and 1200 mm (Fluidra assembly references 04963 \/ 04974). The PTK 1200 is a polyester and fibreglass laminated commercial sand filter; its successor is the Fluidra Delta 1200 series. Always verify your filter’s assembly reference number before ordering to ensure correct fitment.<\/p>\n
Using an authentic Fluidra part guarantees dimensional accuracy and material compatibility with the PTK 1200 filter body. Third-party substitutes may not match the original thread specifications or pressure rating, risking leaks or inaccurate pressure readings on a high-volume commercial installation. A correctly functioning pressure gauge is essential for monitoring filter media condition and scheduling backwash cycles safely.<\/p>\n
Installation should be carried out by a qualified pool technician. The filter must be fully depressurised and drained before removing the old gauge or drain valve. Ensure all sealing surfaces are clean and that any replacement gaskets or O-rings are in good condition before refitting. Given the discontinued status of this part, it is advisable to inspect and retain the removed components if they are still serviceable.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
