Fluidra - Lateral Manifold Assembly for Ø900 mm Sand Filter 2½"

Fluidra – Lateral Manifold Assembly for Ø900 mm Sand Filter 2½”

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement lateral manifold assembly designed for the Ø900 mm sand filter rated at 30,000 l/h with a 2½” side connection (valve-less version). The manifold assembly sits at the base of the filter tank, collecting filtered water through its slotted laterals and evenly redistributing flow across the sand bed during backwash cycles. Replacing a worn or broken manifold restores full filtration efficiency and prevents unfiltered water from bypassing the sand media.

Compatibility

This assembly is designed exclusively for Fluidra Ø900 mm sand filters with a 2½” port and no integrated multiport valve — this includes models in the Aster, Florida, and Ivory Ø900 filter families. Always verify your filter’s tank diameter, port size, and valve configuration before ordering, as manifold assemblies are not interchangeable across different tank sizes.

Why genuine matters

An OEM Fluidra manifold is manufactured to exact dimensional tolerances, ensuring a precise fit within the filter tank and a reliable seal at the central hub. Third-party substitutes may not match the lateral spacing or slot geometry, leading to channelling through the sand bed or premature breakage. A genuine part protects your filtration system and avoids costly re-work.

Installation

Installation requires draining the filter tank and removing the filter lid to access the interior. The manifold assembly connects to the central standpipe and is secured at the tank base. Due to the size of the Ø900 mm tank and the precision required, installation by a qualified pool technician is strongly recommended to ensure correct seating and leak-free operation.
