AstralPool - Filter Manifold Assembly for Ø950 mm Sand Filter, 2½" - SP-04-0167

AstralPool – filter manifold assembly for Ø950 mm sand filter, 2½”

This genuine AstralPool manifold assembly is the internal collector system designed for AstralPool laminated sand filters with a 950 mm tank diameter and 2½” connections. It distributes incoming water evenly across the filter bed and collects filtered water through precision-slotted lateral arms, ensuring consistent filtration performance and efficient backwashing cycles.

Compatibility

Engineered specifically for AstralPool Ø950 mm laminated sand filters — including the Artic and Artic Plus ranges — fitted with 2½” ACME threaded connections. Always verify your filter model and connection standard before ordering to ensure a correct fit.

Design & construction

The manifold assembly is constructed from polypropylene (PP) with uniformly distributed 0.3 mm slots across the lateral arms, providing even water distribution throughout the entire filtration bed. This slotted design prevents sand from passing into the return line while maximising filtration surface area and flow efficiency.

Why genuine matters

Using an original AstralPool replacement manifold assembly guarantees dimensional accuracy and slot tolerances matched to your filter’s hydraulic design. Aftermarket alternatives may compromise flow balance, lead to sand carry-over, or reduce backwash effectiveness — genuine parts protect both your filter and your pool water quality.
