Proper air venting inside a pool filter is critical for safe operation and consistent performance. The Swimables Breather Tube Replacement for Pentair Filters (SW-26-092) is a direct-fit replacement designed to restore proper internal airflow and pressure regulation in Pentair-style pool filter systems.

The breather tube plays a key role in allowing trapped air to escape during startup and operation. When the tube becomes cracked, brittle, or clogged, air can remain trapped inside the filter tank—leading to pressure spikes, noisy operation, reduced filtration efficiency, or difficulty priming the system.

Manufactured from durable, chemical-resistant materials, the Swimables SW-26-092 breather tube restores correct air relief function and helps protect your filter and connected equipment.


Restores Proper Internal Air Venting

During normal operation, air can accumulate inside the filter tank. The breather tube channels this air toward the air relief assembly so it can be safely released.

Replacing a worn breather tube helps:

  • Prevent trapped air pockets

  • Maintain stable filter pressure

  • Improve system priming and startup

  • Reduce stress on filter internals


Designed for Pentair Filter Systems

The SW-26-092 breather tube is sized to match Pentair-style pool filters, ensuring correct fitment and proper routing inside the tank. OEM-style dimensions allow for easy installation without modification.

This replacement is ideal when servicing air relief assemblies, pressure gauges, or internal filter components.


Chemical-Resistant Construction for Long Service Life

Pool filters operate in harsh environments exposed to chlorine, salt, and constant moisture. This breather tube is constructed from materials designed to resist chemical degradation and cracking, helping extend service life and reduce repeat repairs.


Why a Properly Functioning Breather Tube Matters

A damaged or missing breather tube can lead to operational and safety issues.

  • Allows trapped air to escape safely

  • Helps prevent pressure surges

  • Improves filtration efficiency

  • Protects filter tank and internal components

  • Supports proper air relief valve operation
