Fluidra - Filter Tank Base Ø600 mm – Alicante Top-Valve Sand Filter

Fluidra – Filter Tank Base Ø600 mm – Alicante Top-Valve Sand Filter

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement tank base for the Alicante Ø600 sand filter with top-mounted multiport valve. The base forms the structural lower half of the filter vessel, securely housing the sand filtration media and providing a stable foundation for the entire filter assembly. Replacing a cracked or damaged base restores the pressure integrity and safe operation of the filter.

Compatibility

This base is specifically designed for the Fluidra Alicante Ø600 1½” sand filter with top-mounted valve (Fluidra product reference 00560). It is not interchangeable with other Alicante diameter variants (Ø400, Ø500) or other Fluidra filter ranges such as the Aster, Corona, or UVE series. Always verify your filter’s model reference before ordering.

Why genuine matters

As a structural pressure-bearing component rated to 2.5 kg/cm², using a genuine Fluidra part ensures the base meets the exact wall thickness, resin formulation, and dimensional tolerances of the original design. Non-genuine substitutes may not withstand operating pressure safely, risking leaks or failure. A genuine part also maintains any applicable warranty on the filter system.

Installation

Replacement of the filter tank base requires draining and disassembling the complete filter unit, including removal of the sand media, laterals, and upper tank. This is a significant workshop-level task and is best carried out by a qualified pool technician. Ensure all seals and O-rings are inspected and replaced as necessary during reassembly.
