Proper air relief is critical to safe and efficient filter operation. The Swimables Air Bleeder Screen for Clean & Clear Filters (SW-26-106) is a direct-fit replacement designed to keep the air relief system on Pentair Clean & Clear and FNS Plus filters functioning correctly.

This small but essential component sits inside the air bleeder assembly and prevents debris from clogging the air relief valve. When the screen becomes damaged or blocked, trapped air can remain inside the filter tank, leading to inaccurate pressure readings, poor circulation, or unsafe pressure conditions. Replacing the air bleeder screen restores proper venting and helps protect the filter system.

Manufactured to OEM-equivalent specifications, the Swimables SW-26-106 offers precise fit and dependable performance at a cost-effective alternative to factory parts.


Maintains Proper Air Relief and Filter Safety

The air bleeder screen ensures that air can escape the filter tank while stopping debris from entering the air relief valve. This helps the system purge trapped air during startup and normal operation, reducing stress on the filter housing and improving system stability.

Clean, unrestricted air relief supports accurate pressure readings and consistent filtration performance.


Designed for Pentair Clean & Clear & FNS Plus Filters

The SW-26-106 is engineered specifically for Pentair Clean & Clear cartridge filters and FNS Plus DE filters. Correct sizing and mesh design ensure proper airflow while preventing dirt, scale, or DE residue from clogging the bleeder assembly.

Using the correct screen helps avoid repeated air relief failures and unnecessary service calls.


Durable Construction for Harsh Pool Environments

Air relief components are exposed to moisture, pressure, and pool chemicals. This replacement screen is built from durable, chemical-resistant materials designed to maintain structural integrity over time and through repeated cleanings.

It provides long-term reliability with routine filter maintenance.


Why Replacing the Air Bleeder Screen Matters

A clogged or damaged air bleeder screen can compromise filter safety and performance.

  • Allows trapped air to escape the filter tank

  • Prevents debris from clogging the air relief valve

  • Helps maintain accurate pressure gauge readings

  • Supports safe startup and operation of the filter system
