Zodiac – Boreal air relief kit (tube and nozzle) – R0804800

The Zodiac R0804800 is a genuine OEM air relief kit designed specifically for the Zodiac Boreal range of swimming pool filtration equipment. This kit includes both the air relief tube and the nozzle, providing everything needed to restore the air purge functionality of your filter to full working order. The air relief mechanism is a critical component in any sand or media filter system, allowing trapped air to be safely vented from the filter vessel before and after backwashing cycles, preventing pressure build-up and ensuring consistent hydraulic performance.

Using a genuine Zodiac replacement kit ensures precise dimensional compatibility and material consistency with the original assembly. Both the tube and nozzle are manufactured to the exact tolerances required for a leak-free seal within the filter head, eliminating the risks associated with non-OEM alternatives such as improper fit, premature failure, or voided equipment warranties.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

This air relief kit is engineered as a direct replacement for the Zodiac Boreal filter series. The kit comprises the internal venting tube and the threaded or push-fit nozzle that interfaces with the multiport valve or filter lid assembly. Together, these two components form the complete air release pathway inside the filter. The tube channels air from the upper dome of the filter body, while the nozzle provides the controlled release point, allowing the operator to bleed air manually or automatically depending on the filter configuration.

As a factory spare part drawn from the official Zodiac 2020 Pool Care Equipment catalogue, the R0804800 is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing Boreal filter installations without modification. The construction materials are selected for long-term chemical resistance in chlorinated and salinated pool water environments.

Suitability and buying context

This kit is intended for pool owners and service technicians maintaining Zodiac Boreal sand filters. It is particularly relevant when the existing air relief nozzle shows signs of cracking, leaking, or failure to seal correctly, or when the internal tube has become brittle or damaged due to age and chemical exposure. Replacing both components together as a kit ensures the entire air relief assembly is renewed simultaneously, reducing the likelihood of having to perform the same repair twice.

This is a straightforward maintenance spare that requires no special tools for installation. It is suitable for domestic and light commercial pool installations where Zodiac Boreal filtration equipment is already fitted. Always isolate the pump and depressurise the filter before replacing this component.
