This is a genuine Fluidra AstralPool replacement set of eight \u00be” manifold collector arms, each 225 mm long, designed for the Cantabric series sand filter with a \u00d8600 mm tank. Positioned at the base of the sand bed, the manifold arms collect filtered water and distribute flow evenly during both filtration and backwash cycles. This kit restores full hydraulic performance when arms become cracked, clogged, or broken.<\/p>\n
This assembly is specifically matched to the AstralPool Cantabric \u00d8600 mm sand filter \u2014 one of the most widely installed residential filter tanks in Europe. The Cantabric range spans \u00d8400 mm through \u00d8900 mm; always confirm your filter’s diameter and arm length before ordering, as different sizes require different arm assemblies (e.g. 110 mm or 160 mm variants). This kit supplies all eight arms needed for a complete manifold replacement.<\/p>\n
Manufactured from chemically inert, corrosion-resistant plastic to the original Fluidra specification, these arms maintain the precise slot geometry required for uniform lateral flow across the sand bed. Off-brand arms with incorrect slot sizing or dimensional tolerances can compromise filtration efficiency and lead to sand bypassing into the pool. Genuine parts carry the assurance of Fluidra’s quality control and are backed by the official manufacturer’s warranty.<\/p>\n
Access is gained through the filter’s top manhole (177 mm diameter on the \u00d8600 mm model). The arms thread or clip onto the central manifold hub at the base of the tank \u2014 no specialist tools are required, but the filter must be fully depressurised, drained, and the sand removed before work begins. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with sand filter servicing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
