Sometimes the internal air bleed kit on the filter is not sufficient to handle
the extra air in the system with an ozonator installed. An External Safety Air
Bleed Kit (006-402-3872-00) for in-ground swimming pools is available to
remove excess air from the filter and send it downstream (up to 15') past
all equipment. After installing always test per instructions that air is vented
from the filter when the pump is running. Filters equipped with an internal air
bleed will have a backup to the external kit. You must install an external air
bleed if the filter is old or does not have an internal air bleed, there is a solar
system on the pool, there is a pressure side cleaner or with a booster pump.
