Fluidra - Water Drain Assembly for Sand Filter Ø600 mm 1½"

Fluidra – Water Drain Assembly for Sand Filter Ø600 mm 1½”

This genuine Fluidra water drain assembly is the complete bottom drain kit for the Fluidra/AstralPool Ø600 mm sand filter range (14,000 l/h, 1½” side outlet, without multiport valve). It provides a dual function: draining water from the filter tank and serving as an outlet point for emptying the filter media (sand or glass) during maintenance. Replacing a worn or leaking drain assembly restores a watertight seal and ensures safe, controlled emptying of the tank.

Compatibility

This assembly is designed for the Fluidra/AstralPool Ø600 mm injected sand filter with 1½” side connections and no integrated multiport valve — matching the parent product specification of 14,000 l/h. Always cross-reference your filter’s model number and exploded-view diagram before ordering to confirm fitment, as Fluidra produces several Ø600 mm filter variants with differing drain configurations.

Why Genuine Matters

As an original Fluidra spare part, this assembly is manufactured to the exact tolerances of the filter tank, ensuring a leak-free fit without modification. Aftermarket substitutes may not match thread pitch or seal geometry, risking water loss or sand contamination in the pool. Choosing a genuine part also preserves any remaining manufacturer warranty on your filter.

Installation

The drain assembly threads into the bottom port of the filter tank. Drain and depressurise the filter completely before removal. Apply PTFE tape to the threads and hand-tighten before using a strap wrench — avoid over-torquing plastic fittings. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with pool filtration systems.
