Swimables Hayward Style Air Relief Valve Assembly w/ Pressure Gauge | SW-27-240
Two Essential Functions in One Durable Assembly
Maintaining safe pressure and efficient circulation in your pool filter system has never been easier. The Swimables Hayward Style Air Relief Valve Assembly with Pressure Gauge (SW-27-240) combines two key components—an air relief valve and a pressure gauge—into one reliable unit. Designed to match Hayward CCX1000V style assemblies, this replacement part allows pool owners to both bleed trapped air and monitor filter pressure with a single, easy-to-install assembly.
If your pool’s current valve or gauge is cracked, leaking, or giving inaccurate readings, it can cause reduced performance and unnecessary stress on your pump and filter. By upgrading to this Swimables combination assembly, you restore accuracy, safety, and convenience, helping your entire system run more efficiently.
Direct Replacement for Hayward-Style Systems
The Swimables SW-27-240 Assembly is engineered as a cost-effective replacement for Hayward CCX1000V style air relief valves with integrated pressure gauges. It is precision-molded from chemical-resistant plastic to endure harsh pool environments and UV exposure.
This two-in-one design offers a direct fit for many Hayward cartridge filter systems, making it a smart choice for pool owners who want both simplicity and performance in a single part.
Why Choose the Swimables Air Relief Valve with Pressure Gauge?

-
Cost-Effective: Replaces two parts with one affordable assembly.
-
Easy to Operate: Simple twist valve makes bleeding air quick, while the gauge gives instant pressure readings.
-
Reliable Performance: Helps maintain correct filter pressure and smooth water circulation.
The Importance of Air Relief Valves and Pressure Gauges
Your filter system relies on both of these components to operate safely:
-
Air Relief Valve: Releases trapped air that accumulates inside the filter tank. Without it, air pockets reduce flow, increase pressure, and strain your pump and seals.
-
Pressure Gauge: Measures system pressure to help you monitor performance. High pressure indicates the filter needs cleaning, while low pressure can point to clogs, leaks, or pump issues.
By combining both into one assembly, the Swimables SW-27-240 makes it easy to maintain your system and prevent problems before they cause damage.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Valve Assembly
Your air relief valve assembly should be inspected regularly. Replace it if you notice:
-
Leaks around the valve handle or gauge threads
-
A pressure gauge that sticks, fogs, or gives inconsistent readings
-
Difficulty releasing trapped air from the filter
-
Cracks or visible wear on the housing
-
Fluctuating pressure with no clear cause
Installing a new Swimables replacement assembly resolves these issues and ensures your filter system continues running safely.
