Air Bleeder Valve Pool Filter

Working alongside the pressure gauge is the air relief valve.

Air bleeder valve pool filter.

A properly functioning pool pressure gauge filter and air relief valve are vital to the performance of your pool s circulation system. Air builds up inside the filter tank when the pump has been off or has lost prime. As you have plugged all cracks or opening the discharging bubbles indicate that the air is removed from the filter into the pool. It s important to make sure there is not air in your system.

This bleeder is designed to use with pentair nautilus and nautilus plus pool spa d e. This air bleeder tee assembly is designed to use with pentair triton ii pool and spa sand filter models tr140 tr50 tr60 tr100 and also compatible with pentair system 3 ss series pool and spa sand filter models s7s50 s8s70. This keeps air out of the tank and allows for maximum efficiency of filtration. Measures 3 inch length by 1 1 2 inch height by 1 3 4 inch width.

This is vital for a couple reasons. Filter models fns 24 fns 36 fns 48 fns 60. Here s a short how to video for bleeding the air out of your pool filter. Filter models ns24 ns36 ns48 ns60 ns72 nsp 24 nsp 36 nsp 48 nsp 60 nsp 72 and also compatible with pentair fns pool and spa d e.

How to bleed air from a pool pump. Opening the air relief valve allows the air built up in the filter to bleed out slowly removing the pressure problem. To alleviate this pressure filter s are installed with an air relief valve positioned on top. If air is present in the filter housing you will hear air hissing out from the valve.

If so time to get it. The filter keeps grime and debris from building up in your pool and circulation plays an important role in the water chemical balance. Upon start up opening the air relief provides a vent for trapped air. Continue with the valve open until water starts to come out of the valve.

Over time air becomes trapped inside the filter causing pressure to build up inside the filter body. In the last stage of this process check that the air relief valve present on the top of the filter canister releases air with a sound while the water is being filled in the filter system. Next if your filter has a bleeder valve usually at the top of the filter open this while the filter and pump are running until water spits out of the valve and then close immediately.
