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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to replace it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAir 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it appears\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSta-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.
