This is the genuine Fluidra replacement base foot for residential sand filters in the \u00d8500 mm and \u00d8600 mm range, including the Volcano screw-top and Aster series. Moulded in durable polypropylene, the foot forms the stable structural foundation of the filter tank, keeping it level and secure during operation. Replacing a cracked or broken foot restores safe, wobble-free positioning and protects both the tank and surrounding pipework.<\/p>\n
This foot is a confirmed spare part for Fluidra\/Astralpool sand filters with a tank diameter of \u00d8500 mm or \u00d8600 mm, including the Volcano screw-top cover variants and Aster top-valve models rated up to 14,000 l\/h. Always cross-reference your filter’s model number before ordering to ensure correct fitment; this part is not intended for larger commercial tank diameters.<\/p>\n
As an OEM Fluidra component, this base foot is manufactured to the exact dimensional tolerances of the original, ensuring a perfect fit without modification. Genuine parts maintain the structural integrity and pressure rating of the filter assembly and keep any existing product warranty valid \u2014 aftermarket alternatives may not match the bolt pattern or load-bearing profile of the tank.<\/p>\n
Installation typically involves draining the filter, carefully tipping the tank, removing the fasteners securing the old foot, and fitting the new foot before re-standing the unit. While the process is straightforward, the weight of a fully loaded filter tank means a second person or mechanical assistance is strongly recommended. Always re-check all pipework connections and inspect the tank base seal before returning the system to service.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
