AstralPool - Countercurrent Swimmer Air Suction Valve - 4402050109

AstralPool – Countercurrent Swimmer Air Suction Valve

This is a genuine AstralPool replacement air suction valve (part 4402050109) designed for use in AstralPool countercurrent swimming systems. It controls the intake of air into the countercurrent unit’s Venturi circuit, enabling the characteristic turbulent, aerated water jet that swimmers train against. Replacing a worn or faulty valve restores correct air-to-water ratio and full jet performance.

Compatibility

This valve is a direct OEM replacement covering an extensive range of AstralPool countercurrent swimmer assemblies, including units designed for plastic housings, stainless steel housings, liner pools, and concrete pools. It is referenced in Fluidra exploded views 11013, 11014, 11015, 11016, 11499, 11500, 11501, 11508, 34374, 34375, 34376, 34377, 35375, 35376, 35377, 37214, 65489, 65497, 65498, 66043, 66044, 66470, and 66471. Always cross-reference your exploded view number before ordering to confirm fitment.

Why genuine matters

As an original AstralPool spare part, this valve is manufactured to the exact tolerances of the factory-fitted component, ensuring a leak-free seal and consistent air-draw performance. Aftermarket alternatives risk improper sealing, which can reduce jet output, allow air ingress at uncontrolled rates, or lead to premature failure of surrounding components in the countercurrent assembly.

Installation

The air suction valve is typically located within the countercurrent swimmer housing and can be accessed by following the relevant AstralPool exploded view diagram for your model. Ensure the pump circuit is fully depressurised and isolated before beginning any work. Professional installation by a qualified pool technician is recommended to ensure correct seating and a watertight assembly.
