This is a genuine Fluidra replacement manifold arm assembly with a 1″ connection, designed for the Astralpool Europe series commercial sand filter with a \u00d81600 mm tank. The manifold arm sits on the central collector hub at the base of the filter vessel, distributing and collecting water evenly across the sand bed to ensure efficient filtration and proper backwash performance.<\/p>\n
This arm assembly is specifically listed for the Fluidra Europe Filter \u00d81600 mm, 1 m sand bed depth, rated at 2.5 kg\/cm\u00b2 (2.5 bar), fitted with 1″ manifold arms (previous\/original model). The same arm is also cross-referenced for other Europe Filter tank diameters in the same 1″ arm family (\u00d81050\u2013\u00d82000 mm), so always verify your existing arm connection size is 1″ before ordering.<\/p>\n
The Europe Filter is a polyester and fibreglass commercial vessel engineered to be fully corrosion-resistant, including in salt-water applications. Using a genuine Fluidra manifold arm guarantees the correct slot geometry, arm length, and thread specification \u2014 maintaining rated flow distribution and preventing sand bypass that can result from poorly fitting aftermarket arms.<\/p>\n
The arm assembly threads or clips directly onto the central manifold hub inside the filter tank. Drain and depressurise the filter fully before opening the lid. Inspect the hub o-rings and any retaining clips at the same time, and replace if worn, to restore a full watertight seal before returning the filter to service.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
