This is the genuine Fluidra replacement water drain plug for the AstralPool Rapidpool laminated sand filter range. Threaded at 2\u00bd”, it seals the drain port at the base of the filter tank, allowing controlled draining of water for maintenance, winterisation, or sand replacement.<\/p>\n
This drain plug is a factory spare part for the Fluidra AstralPool Rapidpool laminated sand filter \u2014 \u00d8 650 mm, 15,000 l\/h, 1\u00bd” connections, fitted with a bayonet multiport valve. Always verify against your filter’s exploded parts diagram before ordering to ensure an exact fit.<\/p>\n
An ill-fitting or degraded drain plug is one of the most common causes of filter base leaks. Using a genuine Fluidra part guarantees the correct thread profile, material grade, and sealing geometry, ensuring a watertight fit at the filter’s rated maximum operating pressure of 2.5 kg\/cm\u00b2.<\/p>\n
Replacement is straightforward: isolate the pump, relieve system pressure, unscrew the old plug, and thread in the new one by hand before tightening. Inspect the mating thread and replace any worn sealing washer or O-ring at the same time to ensure a lasting seal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
