I have a new Pentair 420 cart filter (upgrade from 15 year old Hayward sand). I noticed after a day I have to bleed about 2 seconds of air. Everything is air tight but i'm running a variable pump on low speed. Sometimes in the summer we got away for 1-2 weeks up to the cottage. Is there a way to automatically bleed air? Or is it always a manual activity with these things? Never had to worry about this with the old sand filter..
How to auto bleed air from Pentair Cart Filter?

It would be better to find and fix the air leak. I'd start with the strainer lid, the pump drain plug, and any connections you've disturbed in the changeover. Also, don't overlook a sticking weir in the skimmer or low water level.
Double checked all those things.. put shaving cream on all my connections.. nothing that I can see as the source of leak. Water level super high in pool..
No air being returned via the jets back to pool. likely trapped by filter?
