Fluidra - Sand Filter Base Foot Ø650 mm

Fluidra – Sand Filter Base Foot Ø650 mm

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement base foot for the RapidPool laminated sand filter with a 650 mm tank diameter. Moulded in polypropylene, it supports and stabilises the filter tank above ground level, ensuring safe and level operation throughout the filtration season. Replacing a cracked or broken foot restores the structural integrity of the complete filter assembly.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for Fluidra / AstralPool laminated sand filters with a Ø650 mm tank, including the RapidPool range rated at 15,000 l/h with a 1½” bayonet side-mount selector valve. It also fits the Victoria, Aster, Aster 99, and UVE – Star Plus Ø600–650 mm filter models. Always verify your filter’s tank diameter and model reference before ordering.

Why genuine matters

An OEM Fluidra foot is manufactured to the exact dimensional tolerances of the original, guaranteeing a precise fit under the tank collar with no rocking or instability. Aftermarket bases can vary in footprint or mounting points, potentially voiding any remaining filter warranty. Choosing a genuine part ensures long-term durability and full compatibility.

Installation

The base foot attaches to the underside of the filter tank body. In most cases the tank must be drained and carefully tilted or lifted to access the foot mounting points. While the task is straightforward for an experienced pool technician, we recommend professional installation to avoid stressing the tank shell or pipework connections.
