ARG Air Relief Assembly Replaces Hayward DEX2420MAR2 with Gauge | ARHDEX2
ARG ARHDEX2 air relief assembly replaces Hayward DEX2420MAR2. Combined manual vent and pressure gauge for top-mounted pool filter air-relief ports.
Features
- Replacement air relief and gauge assembly for filters that originally used Hayward DEX2420MAR2
- Manual vent lets you bleed trapped air from the filter tank on startup or after service
- Built-in pressure gauge shows operating pressure so you know when to backwash or clean
- Helps cure hissing, weeping and inaccurate readings from worn factory assemblies
- Top-mount design keeps the gauge and vent together in one easy-to-access location
- Direct swap in the same port where the original DEX2420MAR2 assembly was installed
Description
The ARG Air Relief Assembly ARHDEX2 is designed as a direct replacement for Hayward’s DEX2420MAR2 air relief and gauge combo. Over time, the original assembly can leak around the stem, let air build up in the filter, or lose its gauge accuracy as the lens fogs and water creeps in. When that happens, you lose both a safe way to purge air and a reliable way to see what the filter is doing.
Installing ARHDEX2 replaces the whole top assembly in one step. You regain a working manual vent at the filter’s air-relief port and a readable pressure gauge right next to it. Open the valve at startup until water runs solid, close it, and then watch the gauge for your normal clean and dirty pressure readings. It’s a simple way to get your filter back to predictable, safe operation without a full equipment overhaul.
Pro Tip
Plan to replace the air relief assembly whenever you do a major filter service and the gauge is fogged or the vent feels stiff. It’s much easier to swap the top while the system is already down than to come back later chasing a slow leak or air problem. Always shut off the pump and relieve pressure before removing any part from the filter tank.
