Air trapped inside a pool filter can quietly reduce performance, cause pressure fluctuations, and make maintenance frustrating. The Clean & Clear / Quad DE Air Bleed SW-26-106 is a direct OEM-style replacement designed to release trapped air from Pentair® Clean & Clear and Quad DE filter systems, restoring proper circulation and reliable pressure readings.

This small but critical component allows air to purge during startup and operation, helping your filter work as intended while protecting internal components from unnecessary stress. When an air bleed becomes clogged, cracked, or fails entirely, replacing it promptly helps prevent bigger issues down the line.

Why the Air Bleed Matters

When air is allowed to build up inside a DE or cartridge filter, it can interfere with filtration efficiency and pressure accuracy.

• Releases trapped air to stabilize filter pressure

• Helps maintain consistent water flow

• Protects internal filter components

• Restores proper startup operation

Replacing a worn or broken air bleed is a simple fix that can prevent more costly filter problems.

Designed for Clean & Clear and Quad DE Filters

The SW-26-106 air bleed is engineered to match OEM fit and function, making it a dependable replacement for original Pentair® parts. It installs easily without modification and is built from durable materials designed to withstand pool chemicals, pressure, and routine service conditions.

This part is commonly replaced during filter service when air relief becomes unreliable or stops venting properly.
