This genuine Fluidra collector assembly is the complete lateral manifold unit designed for the Fluidra Volcano sand filter with a 1050 mm tank diameter and 75 mm pipe connection. It sits at the base of the filter tank, distributing water evenly across the filter bed during normal filtration and collecting filtered water for return to the pool. It is also essential for effective backwash cycles, ensuring even flow reversal through the sand media.<\/p>\n
This collector assembly is a direct OEM replacement part for the Fluidra Volcano series sand filters with a \u00d81050 mm tank and 75 mm pipework connection. Always verify your filter model and pipe size against these specifications before ordering \u2014 Fluidra offers similar assemblies for other tank diameters (e.g. 90 mm connection variants) and these are not interchangeable.<\/p>\n
As an original Fluidra spare part, this assembly is manufactured to exact engineering tolerances for a precise, leak-free fit within the filter tank. Aftermarket alternatives may differ in arm length, lateral slot dimensions, or hub geometry \u2014 all of which can compromise filtration efficiency and backwash performance. A genuine part ensures the filter media is used to its full capacity and that flow is distributed without channelling.<\/p>\n
The collector assembly typically slots into the central standpipe at the base of the tank and is secured before the filter media (sand) is loaded. If replacing an existing unit, the tank must be fully drained and the sand removed to access and extract the old assembly. Reassembly should be carried out by a qualified pool technician to ensure correct positioning and an unobstructed return to service.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
