How to bleed air from a pool pump.
Air bleeder valve pool.
To alleviate this pressure filter s are installed with an air relief valve positioned on top.
Over time air becomes trapped inside the filter causing pressure to build up inside the filter body.
This keeps air out of the tank and allows for maximum efficiency of filtration.
If air is present in the filter housing you will hear air hissing out from the valve.
This is vital for a couple reasons.
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.
Also turn the valve for the water from recirculate back to filter now the water should be running back through the filter.
Close the air relief valve on pool filter and that is the filter bled.
The filter keeps grime and debris from building up in your pool and circulation plays an important role in the water chemical balance.
With the pump running on the filter setting slowly open the valve.
Upon start up opening the air relief provides a vent for trapped air.
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.
Air builds up inside the filter tank when the pump has been off or has lost prime.

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.
Opening the air relief valve allows the air built up in the filter to bleed out slowly removing the pressure problem.
Close the air valve and turn the multi port valve back to filter once the pump is running smoothly turn the air valve clockwise until it s tight.
Working alongside the pressure gauge is the air relief valve.
