Product details

The Pentair WC8-126Z is the air bleed filter, the genuine Pentair part.

What it is

Air that collects in a filter has to be vented before the system will work properly, and the air bleed is the path it takes out. The small filter in that path screens what comes with the air, so grit and debris do not settle where the bleed needs to seal.

When to change it

A bleed that will not vent freely, or that keeps weeping after you have closed it, is usually fouled rather than broken. Fitting a fresh WC8-126Z is the first and cheapest thing to try.

Questions and answers

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

What is the part number?
Pentair WC8-126Z.
What does an air bleed filter do?
It sits in the air bleed path and screens the air being vented, so debris carried out with the air does not foul the bleed itself.
Is it a genuine Pentair part?
Yes. It is the Pentair WC8-126Z.
How do I know it needs replacing?
If the air bleed will not vent freely, or weeps and will not close cleanly after venting, the small filter in the path is the usual suspect.
