This genuine Fluidra rigid PVC tube, 525 mm in length, is the original internal air-purge tube fitted inside AstralPool top-mount sand filter tanks. It channels and vents air from within the filter vessel, ensuring consistent water flow and correct filter pressure at all times.<\/p>\n
When the internal air-purge tube cracks, warps, or becomes blocked, air can accumulate inside the tank, leading to erratic pressure readings, reduced filtration performance, and inefficient backwashing. Replacing it with this genuine part restores the air-bleed system to full working order quickly and reliably.<\/p>\n
This tube is designed for use with AstralPool (Fluidra) top-mount sand filters, including the \u00d8 650 mm \/ 15,000 l\/h \/ 1\u00bd\u2033 top-mount filter series, as well as the Aster Top \u00d8 550 mm and UVE Lateral \u00d8 350 mm models. Always cross-reference your filter’s model number and exploded-view diagram before ordering to confirm fitment.<\/p>\n
As an original Fluidra spare part, this tube is manufactured to exact OEM tolerances, ensuring a precise fit within the filter tank and long-term resistance to pool chemicals and pressure cycling. Non-genuine alternatives may differ in wall thickness or length, compromising the air-purge function and potentially voiding your filter warranty.<\/p>\n
Replacement requires draining and opening the filter tank to access the internal assembly. The tube locates into the existing fittings inside the vessel. While confident DIY pool owners can carry out the work, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct reassembly and a watertight seal on the tank lid.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
