WE'VE JUST PURCHASED ( FROM YOU!!!) AND INSTALLED A HAYWARD W3S244T.  THE PRESSURE GAUGE HAS NO AIR RELIEF VALVE.  THE FIRST THING DIRECTIONS SAY WHEN RESTARTING OUR PUMP IS TO MAKE CERTAIN AIR RELIEF VALVE IS OPEN ON YOUR FILTER.  SO WHATS WITH THIS?  CAN WE REPLACE THE GAUGE AND WITH WHAT?  IN THE PAST, WE USED THE AIR RELIEF WITH SOME DEGREE OF REGULARITY.

The W3S244T is not equipped with an air relief valve. Hayward uses that same verbiage in all of their manuals. They must have copied and pasted it in all the documents. A top mount valve shouldn't have an issue with air build up because the water exits at the top and will clear out the air.
