Fluidra - Lateral Collector Assembly Ø900 mm with Male Thread Connection

Fluidra – Lateral Collector Assembly Ø900 mm with Male Thread Connection

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement lateral collector assembly for the Astral Aster sand filter with a 900 mm tank diameter and 2½” side outlet. The collector assembly sits at the base of the filter tank and consists of a central manifold hub with lateral arms that gather filtered water after it has passed through the sand bed, directing it back to the pool. The male thread connection ensures a secure, leak-free fit within the filter body.

Compatibility

This collector assembly is designed specifically for the Fluidra Astral Aster sand filter: Ø900 mm tank, 31,000 l/h flow rate, 2½” side outlet, without multiport valve. Always verify your filter’s tank diameter, outlet size, and model reference before ordering, as collector assemblies are not interchangeable across different tank sizes.

Why Genuine Matters

As an OEM Fluidra part, this collector assembly is manufactured to the exact tolerances of the original component, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable long-term performance. Genuine parts maintain your filter’s filtration efficiency and protect against sand bypass — an issue that can arise with incorrectly sized or inferior aftermarket laterals.

Installation

Replacement of the lateral collector assembly requires draining the filter tank and removing the sand bed to access the collector. The male thread connection allows it to be threaded directly into the filter’s central standpipe or base fitting. Professional installation is recommended for this type of internal filter work to ensure correct reassembly and leak-free operation.
