This is the genuine Fluidra collector assembly for the Volcano commercial sand filter range, specifically sized for the \u00d81400 mm tank with a \u00d890 mm central collector pipe. The collector assembly sits at the base of the filter tank and gathers water that has passed through the sand bed, channelling it efficiently to the filter outlet. Replacing a worn or damaged collector restores full filtration performance and prevents unfiltered water from bypassing the sand media.<\/p>\n
This collector assembly is a factory spare part for the Fluidra Volcano Filter series covering tank diameters from \u00d81050 mm to \u00d82000 mm, with this specific variant matched to the \u00d81400 mm tank configuration. Always verify your tank diameter and existing collector pipe diameter before ordering, as Fluidra produces collector assemblies in several sizes across this filter range.<\/p>\n
Using a genuine Fluidra part ensures the collector arms and central manifold match the exact tolerances of your Volcano filter tank, maintaining a proper seal against the tank floor and preventing sand or unfiltered water from passing directly to the return line. Non-OEM alternatives risk poor fitment, premature failure, and potential contamination of the filtered water supply \u2014 a critical concern in commercial and public pool environments.<\/p>\n
Installation involves draining the filter tank, removing the sand media, and carefully extracting the existing collector before fitting the new assembly. Due to the size and weight of media involved in \u00d81400 mm commercial filters, this work is recommended for qualified pool technicians. Ensure all lateral arms are securely seated and the central pipe connection is watertight before recharging the tank with sand and returning the filter to service.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
