Product details
The Pentair 170028 is the air bleed tube assembly for the Clean and Clear Plus 420 square foot cartridge filter. It is the genuine Pentair part, listed for filters built after 11/98.
What it does
Air collects at the top of a cartridge filter tank every time the system is opened or the water level drops. The air bleed tube gives that air a path up to the manual relief valve so it can be purged when the pump restarts. A cracked or missing tube leaves air trapped inside, which reads as high gauge pressure and weak flow back to the pool even though the cartridges are clean.
Before you order
Check the filter size on the label. Pentair uses a different air bleed assembly for the 320 square foot filter and another for the 500 square foot filter, and this one is the 420. Also confirm the tank was built after 11/98, since earlier tanks use a different internal arrangement.
