This is the genuine Fluidra replacement lid set for the Artic D series laminated sand filters with tank diameters of 500, 650, 800 and 950 mm. The kit contains the complete lid assembly \u2014 injected-plastic lid, EPDM gasket, and AISI-316 stainless steel screws \u2014 everything needed to restore a secure, pressure-tight seal on top of the filter tank. It is the correct OEM solution when the existing lid or its sealing components show wear, cracking, or leakage.<\/p>\n
This lid set is designed exclusively for Fluidra (AstralPool) Artic D laminated sand filters in tank diameters \u00d8500 mm, \u00d8650 mm, \u00d8800 mm and \u00d8950 mm (product references 34029, 34030, 34031 and variants). It is not suitable for the larger Artic D \u00d81050 or \u00d81200 mm models, which use a different \u00d8400 mm lid, nor for the Artic Plus or Artic OC-1 ranges. Always cross-reference your filter’s model number before ordering.<\/p>\n
The Artic D filter operates at up to 2.5 bar working pressure, so a correctly dimensioned, manufacturer-approved lid set is essential for safe operation. Genuine Fluidra parts are manufactured to the same tolerances as the original components, ensuring the EPDM gasket seats correctly and the stainless steel screws engage the tank flanges without risk of stripping or corrosion. Aftermarket lids may not match the exact profile, leading to leaks or premature failure.<\/p>\n
Before fitting, fully depressurise and isolate the filter from the circulation system. Remove the old lid retaining screws, lift away the worn lid and gasket, and clean the mating flange surface. Seat the new EPDM gasket, position the lid, and tighten the AISI-316 screws evenly in a cross pattern to avoid uneven compression. Re-pressurise slowly and check for leaks before returning the system to service. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with pressurised filter systems.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
