Description
Clamp ring for filter lid Basic sand filter set
The clamp ring is an essential connecting piece between the filter lid and the sand filter tank of your Basic sand filter set. This ring is fitted around the lid and ensures that the seal remains firmly and watertightly in place, so that no pressure or water loss occurs during filtering. Without a properly functioning clamp ring, the lid can come loose under pressure, leading to leakage and reduced filter performance.
What is the clamp ring for?
The clamp ring clamps the filter lid firmly onto the sand filter tank and distributes the pressure evenly across the entire rim. This keeps the O-ring or sealing rubber between the lid and the tank properly compressed, preventing water from escaping, even at higher filter pressure. When opening the tank — for example, to replace or top up the filter sand — you simply remove the clamp ring to release the lid.
When do you replace the clamp ring?
After several seasons of exposure to chlorine, UV radiation and fluctuating temperatures, a clamp ring can deform, crack or lose its resilience. Do you notice that the filter lid no longer sits firmly, that water seeps along the edge, or that the clamp ring shows visible cracks? Then it's time for a replacement. A new clamp ring is a small investment that prevents bigger problems.
Compatibility
This clamp ring is specifically designed for the filter lid of the Basic sand filter set. Always check the specifications to see whether the clamp ring matches the diameter and model of your sand filter tank. Is not only the clamp ring but also the lid itself damaged? Then also have a look at our lids category for a suitable replacement.
