• Compact and Lightweight: Weighs approximately 0.07 lb for easy handling and storage. 

Product Overview:
The SW‑26‑689 air bleeder tee assembly is a critical component for maintaining safe and efficient operation in Triton II and System 3 sand filters. This robust replacement mirrors Pentair’s part 154689Z and includes all necessary parts—the tee, adapter, O‑ring, nut, and washer—for immediate installation without additional components.

By providing a reliable pathway for trapped air to escape, the assembly prevents air blockages, reduces pump strain, and helps preserve proper system pressure. Its construction ensures longevity and consistent performance in pool environments.

Users replacing the standard plastic assembly often note enhanced durability:

“Got tired of the crappy plastic… all of these brass components are rated to exceed the working pressure of the Pentair filter.” 

In addition, pool owners frequently report frequent failures of OEM plastic assemblies:

“That pos Pentair bleeder breaks almost every year… I’ll be doing this next year…” 

Upgrade your filter’s air management system with the SW‑26‑689 for dependable operation and fewer replacements over time—ideal for pool owners seeking long-term reliability.
