This genuine AstralPool manifold arm assembly is the complete collector lateral set designed for AstralPool sand filters with a 350 mm tank diameter. Positioned at the base of the filter vessel, the manifold arms distribute incoming water evenly across the filter bed during filtration and collect water efficiently during backwash cycles, ensuring optimal filtration performance.<\/p>\n
The manifold arm assembly forms the heart of the filter’s internal hydraulics. The lateral arms feature fine slots that allow filtered water to pass through while retaining the filter media \u2014 whether sand, glass, or zeolite \u2014 inside the tank. A damaged or cracked manifold arm can allow filter media to bypass the collector and pass back into the pool, making timely replacement essential.<\/p>\n
This assembly is sized specifically for AstralPool filters with a 350 mm tank diameter. The AstralPool Aster series is available in 350 mm diameter and uses 1\u2033 collector arms made of durable polypropylene. Always verify your filter’s tank diameter and series before ordering to ensure correct fitment.<\/p>\n
As an OEM AstralPool spare part, this manifold arm assembly is manufactured to the exact slot tolerances and dimensions of the original component, guaranteeing a secure fit and reliable filtration. Aftermarket alternatives may not match the precise slot geometry, risking media bypass or poor hydraulic performance.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
