Quick overview
- Bleeder and gauge together One assembly does both jobs, air relief and pressure reading, at the top of the filter.
- 2-3/8 in size Sized at 2-3/8 in, so it can be checked against the fitting on the tank.
- Genuine Pentair Factory part 261003 rather than a generic bleeder and gauge pair.
- Plastic construction Molded plastic body, the standard material for this assembly.
- Restores a readable pressure A gauge that has fogged, stuck or gone to zero makes it impossible to know when the filter needs cleaning.
- Releases trapped air The manual bleeder vents the air that collects in the top of the tank after a filter is opened or the pump loses prime.

Product details
The Pentair 261003 is the manual bleeder with pressure gauge, 2-3/8 in, a single assembly that handles both air relief and pressure indication at the top of the filter tank.
Two jobs in one part
The bleeder vents air. Every time a filter is opened, or the pump loses prime, air collects in the top of the tank and has to be released before the filter can do its work. The gauge tells you where the filter is in its cycle: clean pressure when it is fresh, and roughly eight to ten pounds above that when it is due for service. Losing either one makes the filter harder to run properly.
Fitment
The source describes this part as the manual bleeder with gauge for Pentair PacFab Nautilus DE filters, and also files it with Sea Horse stainless and Sea Horse FG cartridge filter parts. Check the 2-3/8 in fitting against your tank before ordering so the thread and size match what comes off.
Construction
The body is molded plastic, and it is the genuine Pentair assembly rather than a bleeder and gauge sourced separately.
