Swimables SW-28-200 Jandy-Style Air Relief Assembly
Safely Release Trapped Air and Protect Your Pool Filter
The Swimables Jandy® Style Air Relief Assembly (SW-28-200) is a replacement air relief assembly designed for Jandy-style pool filters. The air relief assembly allows trapped air to be safely purged from the filter tank during startup, preventing pressure spikes, inaccurate pressure readings, and unsafe operating conditions.
A properly functioning air relief assembly is critical for filter safety, system performance, and long-term equipment protection.
This product is a pool filter air management component, engineered specifically for swimming pool filtration systems.
What an Air Relief Assembly Does
When a pool pump starts, air trapped inside the filter tank must be released before full water pressure builds. The air relief assembly:
-
Releases trapped air during system startup
-
Helps prevent pressure surges
-
Allows accurate pressure gauge readings
-
Protects internal filter components
Without a working air relief assembly, air can remain trapped, leading to poor filtration and potential equipment damage.
Designed for Jandy® Style Pool Filters
The SW-28-200 air relief assembly is manufactured in a Jandy-style configuration, making it compatible with many Jandy-style DE and sand pool filters that use a top-mounted air relief system.
It is commonly serviced alongside parts found in the Pool & Spa Filters Collection and Pool Filter Replacement Parts Collection.
Always verify filter model and OEM part compatibility before ordering.
Common Signs an Air Relief Assembly Needs Replacement
A failing air relief assembly can cause several noticeable issues, including:
-
Air trapped in the filter after startup
-
Pressure gauge not reading correctly
-
Water spraying or leaking from the relief area
-
Difficulty bleeding air from the system
-
Cracked or seized relief components
Replacing the assembly restores safe and proper filter operation.
Protects Filter Internals and Improves Safety
Trapped air inside a filter tank can compress and expand rapidly, creating unsafe pressure conditions. A functioning air relief assembly helps:
-
Reduce stress on filter housings
-
Protect internal manifolds and grids
-
Improve system startup safety
-
Extend overall filter life
This makes the air relief assembly a critical safety component—not just a convenience feature.
Built for Pool Filtration Environments
The Swimables air relief assembly is constructed from pool-rated materials designed to withstand:
-
Continuous water pressure
-
Chlorinated and saltwater pools
-
Outdoor temperature fluctuations
-
Repeated manual operation
This ensures reliable performance throughout the pool season.
Ideal for Filter Service and Rebuilds
Air relief assemblies are commonly replaced during:
-
DE filter rebuilds
-
Pressure troubleshooting service calls
-
Seasonal equipment inspections
-
Manifold or grid replacement jobs
Service professionals often replace air relief assemblies preventatively when filters are already disassembled.
This component pairs naturally with DE filter manifolds, grid assemblies, and filter O-rings found in the Pool Equipment Parts Collection.
Installation Notes
General installation considerations include:
-
Depressurize system before removal
-
Remove old air relief assembly carefully
-
Inspect mounting port and threads
-
Install new assembly snugly without overtightening
-
Test for leaks during startup
Professional installation is recommended for optimal sealing and safety.
