This is the genuine Fluidra collector assembly with central support for the Volcano commercial sand filter series, covering tank diameters from 1050 mm up to 2000 mm. The collector \u2014 sometimes called a manifold or lateral arm assembly \u2014 sits at the bottom of the filter tank and distributes filtered water evenly through its lateral arms before it exits the vessel. The included support pipe holds the entire collector system securely in the correct position within the tank.<\/p>\n
During normal filtration, pool water passes downward through the sand bed and is collected by the lateral arms of this assembly, which channel clean water into the central \u00d8140 mm collector pipe and out through the filter outlet. During backwash cycles the flow reverses, with the collector redistributing water upward through the sand bed to flush trapped debris to waste. A correctly seated collector assembly is essential for even flow distribution, preventing channelling through the filter media and maintaining filtration efficiency.<\/p>\n
This assembly is designed exclusively for the Fluidra Volcano sand filter range with tank diameters from D.1050 to D.2000. It is not interchangeable with other Fluidra filter families such as the Vesubio, Praga, or Europa series, which use different collector diameters or configurations. Always cross-reference your filter’s model number and existing collector diameter before ordering.<\/p>\n
As a genuine Fluidra spare part, this collector assembly is manufactured to the exact dimensions and tolerances of the original component, ensuring a leak-free fit and consistent hydraulic performance. Aftermarket alternatives can introduce uneven flow distribution or premature wear. Fitting a genuine part also keeps your filter within its original design specification, which is important for commercial installations subject to regular inspection.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
