This is the genuine Fluidra drain and bleed assembly designed for the AstralPool Aster laminated sand filter in the \u00d8750 mm \/ 2″ outlet configuration. It provides the manual air and water purge function built into the filter tank, allowing trapped air and residual water to be safely released during start-up, maintenance, or winterisation.<\/p>\n
This assembly is a direct OEM replacement for the AstralPool Aster sand filter with a tank diameter of \u00d8750 mm and a 2″ pipe connection. Always cross-reference your filter’s model label and existing part number before ordering to confirm fitment, as Aster filters are available in multiple tank sizes and outlet configurations.<\/p>\n
As an authentic Fluidra spare part, this assembly is manufactured to the exact tolerances and pressure ratings of the original component. Using a genuine replacement ensures a leak-free seal, correct thread engagement, and continued compliance with the filter’s maximum working pressure of 2.5 kg\/cm\u00b2. Third-party alternatives may differ in thread pitch or material quality, risking leaks at the purge point.<\/p>\n
The drain and bleed assembly screws directly into the dedicated port on the Aster filter tank. Isolate the pump, depressurise the system, and drain the filter to the appropriate level before removing the old assembly. Apply PTFE tape to the threads and hand-tighten before giving a final quarter-turn with a suitable wrench. Check for leaks on first pressurisation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
