EDGETEC SYSTEMS PTY LTD Part # 9-2100 MAY 2012
Activating Air Bleed
Prior to August 2012 the air bleed fitted was a sealed unit which required a drill operation
to activate the air bleed.
From August2012 the Air Bleed has a Twist Cap which will open the Air Bleed when the
Cap is rotated Fully Anticlockwise. (No Drilling Required)
(Pre August 2012) - refer diagram 4
1. The air bleed valve is manufactured in the closed position and if your pump is
installed as per diagram 1 you will not need to activate this valve.
2. If your spa pump is not priming, you will have to activate the air bleed valve. To
do this you will require a 4mm or 3/16 drill bit. Carefully drill out the blank in the
air bleed elbow ensuring that you do not drill through the outer wall (refer
diagram 4), the air bleed valve is now activated.
3. It is common for air bleed valves to “Squirt” water when sealing, this will occur
every time the pump is switched on. Once the internal valve is seated, the water
“squirt” will stop.
4. To avoid any water damage, we recommend that you place a 10mm tube (not
supplied) over the air bleed barb and place the tube in a position where the
excess water will not cause any damage (i.e. into a drain or outside).
