AstralPool - Sand Filter Drain Purge Assembly - SP-04-0118

AstralPool – sand filter drain purge assembly

The AstralPool Sand Purge is a genuine replacement drain assembly designed for the bottom of AstralPool sand filters. It allows the filter tank to be fully drained and the filter media to be emptied or changed without losing sand through the outlet. This makes routine maintenance — including sand replacement, winterisation, and filter servicing — cleaner and more straightforward.

How it works

The sand purge assembly is located at the base of the filter vessel. It serves a dual purpose: acting as a water drain outlet for emptying the tank while simultaneously preventing filter sand from escaping through the drain port. The integrated sealing arrangement ensures a watertight closure during normal filtration operation, eliminating the risk of leaks at the filter base.

Compatibility

This is a genuine AstralPool spare part designed to fit AstralPool sand filter models that feature a bottom sand purge drain port. AstralPool sand purge assemblies are used across a number of filter ranges including Cantabric, Millennium, Skypool, and Praga series filters. Always verify compatibility against your filter’s exploded-view diagram or serial number before ordering, as connection size and fitting style can vary between models.

Why genuine matters

Using a genuine AstralPool replacement ensures the correct material grade, sealing tolerances, and thread specification for your filter. Third-party substitutes can result in imperfect seals, sand loss, or premature failure. Sticking with OEM parts protects the performance and longevity of your filtration system.
