Product details

The Sta-Rite 24800-0120 is the genuine air bleed assembly, the relief fitting that vents air trapped at the top of a filter tank.

Why bleeding matters

Every time a filter is opened, or the pump loses prime, air collects at the top of the tank. That air displaces water, so less of the media is actually doing work, and the pressure gauge reads something that does not reflect what is happening inside. Opening the air bleed until water runs steadily is what clears it.

When to replace it

Air bleeds corrode in place and seize, and the stem frequently snaps when someone leans on one that has not moved in several seasons. A bleed that weeps continuously or will not close is worth replacing rather than working around.

Where it appears

Sta-Rite lists this assembly across a broad set of filter diagrams, including the System 3 D.E. and SM cartridge models, the Posi-Flo TX and TR, the System 2 PLD and PLDE series, and the Sta-Rite PLD aboveground cartridge system. It also appears in Hayward Super Star-Clear and SwimClear cartridge filter diagrams. Check your filter against its diagram before ordering.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What does an air bleed assembly do?
It vents air trapped at the top of the filter tank. Air in the tank blocks flow through the media and makes the pressure gauge read wrong, so the system has to be bled after any service.
Which filters is it shown in?
It appears in parts diagrams for the Sta-Rite System 3 D.E. and SM cartridge filters, the Posi-Flo TX and TR, the System 2 PLD and PLDE, the Sta-Rite PLD aboveground system, and a number of Hayward Super Star-Clear and SwimClear cartridge filters.
Is this a complete assembly?
Yes. It is sold as the air bleed assembly, not as separate pieces.
Why would mine need replacing?
Air bleeds corrode and seize, and the stem often snaps off when someone forces one that has not been turned in a few seasons. A bleed that weeps or will not close is due for replacement.
