Safe pressure management is critical to the performance and longevity of any pool filtration system. The Swimables Hayward-Style Air Relief Valve Assembly with Pressure Gauge (SW-27-242) is a complete, heavy-duty replacement assembly designed to restore reliable air release and accurate pressure monitoring on Hayward-style pool filters.

This all-in-one assembly allows trapped air to be safely purged from the filter tank while delivering a clear, dependable pressure reading. If your existing air relief valve is sticking, leaking, or your pressure gauge is fogged, inaccurate, or broken, replacing the entire assembly ensures both functions work together correctly from day one.

Built to OEM-equivalent standards, the Swimables SW-27-242 is engineered for durability, chemical resistance, and secure sealing in demanding pool environments—making it a dependable alternative to factory-branded assemblies.

Integrated Air Relief and Pressure Monitoring

Air trapped inside a filter tank can reduce circulation efficiency and cause pressure fluctuations. This assembly allows air to be released during startup or servicing while the integrated gauge immediately confirms proper operating pressure.

Having both components combined eliminates mismatched parts and ensures accurate readings after every air purge.

Hayward-Style Compatibility and Secure Fit

The SW-27-242 is designed to replace Hayward-style air relief valve and pressure gauge assemblies used on select cartridge and DE filter systems. Proper threading and sealing surfaces help prevent leaks and ensure a tight, reliable installation.

Using the correct valve assembly protects the filter tank, plumbing, and internal filter elements from unnecessary stress.

Built for Long-Term Outdoor Use

Pool filter components operate under constant pressure and exposure to chemicals and weather. This assembly is constructed from durable, chemical-resistant materials designed to withstand long-term outdoor installation.

The pressure gauge features clear markings for quick visibility, helping pool owners and technicians easily monitor filter condition and maintenance intervals.

Why Replacing the Full Assembly Matters

Replacing only one component can leave worn parts behind. Installing the complete assembly restores full, dependable operation in one step.

• Safely releases trapped air from the filter tank

• Provides accurate pressure readings

• Helps prevent leaks and pressure loss

• Protects filter housing and circulation equipment
