Sand filter lateral
Sand filter lateral: crystal-clear water with no sand in the pool
Finding sand at the bottom of your pool or water that stays cloudy despite the pump running? The culprit is almost always a cracked lateral inside the sand filter. Our replacement laterals restore perfect filtration and save you from buying a whole new filter. You fix it yourself, in minutes, for just a few euros.
Our range of sand filter laterals
- Screw-in strainers: fitted with a calibrated slot that traps the sand while letting filtered water flow through for optimal output.
- Clip-on strainers: quick mounting on the star-shaped diffusers of compact filters, no tools required.
- Long collector laterals: for large filters with a central manifold, spreading filtration over the full depth of the sand.
- Brand-matched laterals: references compatible with the leading filter manufacturers on the market.
- Full sets: replace every lateral at once for a reliable, like-new base.
Choosing the right lateral
- Measure the thread and length of the old lateral, or count how many pieces need replacing.
- Note the exact brand and model of your sand filter, usually printed on the tank or valve.
- Check the fixing type: screwed onto the manifold, or clipped onto the central diffuser.
The Piscine-SAV technical tip: sand coming back into the pool is an almost certain sign of a broken or cracked lateral. If you are unsure of the reference, send us a photo and the brand of your filter: our experts will check compatibility for you before you buy.
