Fluidra - Sand Filter Inlet Assembly Ø125 mm for Europe Filter Ø1600

Fluidra – Sand Filter Inlet Assembly Ø125 mm for Europe Filter Ø1600

This genuine Fluidra inlet assembly (Ø125 mm) is the factory-specified water inlet component for the AstralPool Europe Filter with a Ø1600 mm tank. It channels the unfiltered pool water into the filter vessel, ensuring correct flow distribution across the sand bed for efficient, high-rate filtration. Designed to exact OEM tolerances, it is a direct drop-in replacement for worn or damaged inlet assemblies on commercial-grade Europe Filter units.

Compatibility

This inlet assembly is designed for use with Fluidra AstralPool Europe Filter systems featuring a Ø1600 mm tank and a 125 mm pipe connection, including the Europe Filter Ø1800-125MM 1.0M 2.5KG/CM² (ref. 21505). It is also confirmed compatible with the Europa new-model filter (1½” strainer, ref. 21502), the Europa 1.2 m / 2.5 kg model (ref. 21516), and the Florida Side filter Ø1050–2000 range. Always cross-reference your filter’s exploded diagram before ordering to verify fitment.

Why Genuine Matters

The Europe Filter is a polyester and fibreglass commercial filter rated up to 2.5 kg/cm² working pressure, designed for demanding public and commercial pool installations. Using a genuine Fluidra inlet assembly guarantees correct pressure ratings, a perfect seal against the vessel wall, and long-term resistance to pool chemicals and salt water — protecting the integrity of the entire filtration system. Non-genuine parts may compromise flow distribution, leading to channelling through the sand bed and reduced filtration quality.

Installation

This assembly is intended for replacement during scheduled maintenance or following damage to the original inlet component. Installation requires depressurising the filter vessel completely before opening. Given the large tank diameter and commercial nature of these filters, replacement should be carried out by a qualified pool technician familiar with high-rate sand filtration systems.
