Product Description

Ensure your pool filter operates at maximum efficiency with this essential internal air bleed sock kit. Designed to sit at the highest point of the internal manifold, this specialized mesh sleeve allows trapped air to escape the filter tank while preventing debris or D.E. powder from bypassing the filter elements and returning to your pool. By maintaining a constant "bleed" of air, this kit helps prevent dangerous air pockets from building up inside the pressurized tank, ensuring a smoother startup and consistent water flow. Durable and chemical-resistant, this easy-to-install maintenance part is a must-have for professional filter tune-ups.

Safety Warnings & Performance

Air Pocket Danger: If this sock is clogged or missing, a large pocket of compressed air can form at the top of the tank, creating an explosion hazard if the lid is loosened under pressure.
Filter Bypass: Operating without a functioning sock allows unfiltered water and D.E. powder to return directly to the pool, leading to cloudy water and potential staining.
Chemical Sensitivity: Avoid using harsh acid cleaners directly on the mesh fabric, as it can weaken the fibers and cause the sock to tear or fail prematurely.
💡 Maintenance Pro-Tips
  • The "Dirty Sock" Check: Inspect the sock during every filter cleaning. If it is caked with D.E. or slime, rinse it gently with a low-pressure garden hose to ensure air bleeds effectively.
  • Telltale Failure: If you notice "puffs" of D.E. powder coming out of your pool jets during pump startup, the sock likely has a hole and needs immediate replacement.
  • Proper Seating: Ensure the clip is pushed all the way down onto the air bleed tube. If loose, it can vibrate off, allowing air and debris to bypass the filter elements entirely.
  • High-Density Weave: Features a fine-mesh pore size designed to block D.E. particles while maintaining a constant internal air "bleed" for smoother system operation.
Technical Note: This is an internal component and is separate from the external manual air relief valve on the tank lid. Ensure the system is fully depressurized before installation.

User Disclaimer: Proper equipment maintenance is the owner's responsibility. Operating a filtration system with a compromised air bleed assembly can lead to dangerous pressure build-up and equipment failure.
