What Does the Air Bleeder Screen Cap Do?
During normal filter operation, air can accumulate inside the filter tank.
The internal air bleed system helps manage this trapped air as water moves through the filter.
The Pentair 190106Z screen cap fits onto the internal air bleed assembly and helps prevent debris from blocking the air bleed passage.
Keeping this passage clear supports proper operation of the filter's air bleed system.
When to Replace the Air Bleeder Screen
Inspect the screen cap during routine filter maintenance and cartridge cleaning.
Replacement may be necessary if:
- The screen is cracked or broken.
- The screen mesh is damaged.
- The original screen cap is missing.
- Debris has permanently obstructed the screen.
- The cap no longer attaches securely to the air bleed assembly.
- Damage is discovered during filter servicing.
Troubleshooting: Air accumulation and circulation problems can also be caused by suction-side air leaks, low water levels, damaged seals, or other filtration system issues.
Internal Air Bleeder vs. Manual Air Relief Valve
The Pentair 190106Z is an internal air bleeder screen cap. It is not the external manual air relief valve located on the filter tank.
These components perform different functions and are sold separately.
- 190106Z: Internal air bleeder screen cap.
- 98209800: High Flow Manual Air Relief Valve.
- 190058Z: Replacement filter pressure gauge.
