AstralPool - Anti-Vibration Mount (Silentblock) for Kivu 5.5 HP Pump - 4405010644

AstralPool – Anti-Vibration Mount (Silentblock) for Kivu 5.5 HP Pump

This is the genuine AstralPool replacement anti-vibration mount (silentblock) for the Kivu self-priming pump range up to 5.5 HP. Positioned at point 17 in the official Fluidra exploded view diagram, it sits between the pump motor and its base to absorb vibration and dampen operational noise during filtration cycles. Replacing a worn silentblock is a straightforward but essential service step to maintain the quiet, stable running that the Kivu pump is designed to deliver.

Compatibility

This silentblock is designed for the AstralPool Kivu 3–4–5.5 HP self-priming pump family, covering models 63042, 63043, 63044, 66047, 66048, and 66049 (including the 5.5 HP 230/400V variant, parent SKU 66049). It is not suitable for the larger 7.5 HP or 10 HP Kivu centrifugal pump variants, which use a different silentblock part.

Why Genuine Matters

Using a genuine AstralPool silentblock ensures the correct rubber compound hardness, dimensional fit, and load rating for your specific pump motor. Aftermarket substitutes may not match these tolerances, leading to increased vibration transmission, faster wear of surrounding components, and elevated noise — counteracting the Kivu’s engineered low-noise performance. Only a genuine part guarantees compatibility with Fluidra’s quality standards.

Installation

The silentblock is accessed by separating the motor from the pump body. Basic mechanical competence is required; if in doubt, a qualified pool technician should carry out the replacement. Always isolate the pump electrically before starting work and refer to the official Fluidra exploded view (position 17) to confirm correct orientation and seating before reassembly.
