Description
Astralpool pump base 4405010897
The Astralpool pump base 4405010897 is the original support foot for selected Astralpool pool circulation pumps. It provides a stable,
level mounting surface for the pump housing and motor, helping to keep the unit correctly aligned with the pipework and to limit
vibration in the technical room.
Main features of the Astralpool pump base
- Original pump base for compatible Astralpool pool pumps.
- Robust moulded construction designed for humid plant room environments.
- Preformed fixing points for securing the pump to the floor or support slab.
- Shaped contact surfaces to match the footprint of the corresponding pump body.
Function in the pump installation
The pump base supports the weight of the hydraulic body and motor and keeps the assembly level. By providing a solid interface between
the pump and the floor, it reduces movement during start up and operation, protects the pipework from stress and contributes to quieter
running.
- Supports the pump at the correct height relative to the suction and return lines.
- Helps maintain alignment between the pump ports and fixed pipework.
- Limits vibration transmission to the floor and surrounding structure.
Compatibility and typical applications
The Astralpool pump base 4405010897 is intended for specific Astralpool pump models that list this reference in their exploded view. The
outline, fixing holes and contact surfaces are matched to the original housing so the pump sits securely without rocking or twisting.
- Suitable for Astralpool circulation pumps that specify base 4405010897.
- Used in residential pool technical rooms with sand, glass or cartridge filters.
- Ideal when replacing a damaged base or refurbishing an older installation.
Before ordering, always check the identification label and parts diagram of your pump to confirm that this is the correct base reference.
When to replace the pump base
Although the base is not in contact with pool water, it is exposed to moisture, occasional splashes and mechanical loads from the pump
and pipework. Damage or deformation can compromise stability and lead to noise or stress on unions and seals.
- Visible cracks, broken corners or missing sections on the base.
- Warping that prevents the pump from sitting flat and level.
- Fixing holes that are worn or broken and no longer hold screws securely.
- Corrosion or damage from previous incorrect fixings or impacts.
Installation and good practice
Installing the Astralpool pump base 4405010897 is normally done during pump replacement or relocation. Careful positioning and fixing
help ensure a long service life for both the base and the pump.
- Place the base on a solid, level concrete slab or suitably rigid support.
- Mark and drill fixing holes if you plan to anchor the base to the floor.
- Position the pump on the base so that all contact points align correctly.
- Secure the pump to the base using the recommended screws and washers.
- Check that the assembly is level before finalising pipe connections.
After installation, verify that the pump runs smoothly without excessive vibration and that the pipework is not under tension. A correctly
installed Astralpool pump base 4405010897 contributes to stable, quiet and reliable filtration over many seasons.
