Pressure Gauge

A swimming pool filter pressure gauge is an important component of any pool filtration system. It is used to measure the pressure inside the filter tank, which can help pool owners and operators determine when it is time to backwash or clean the filter.

The pressure gauge is typically mounted on the filter tank or the valve assembly, and it measures the pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI) and/or metric unit (BAR) . As water flows through the filter and becomes trapped in the filter media, the pressure inside the tank will increase. By monitoring the pressure gauge, pool owners can determine when the pressure has reached a certain level, indicating that it is time to clean or backwash the filter.

It is important to regularly check the pressure gauge on a pool filter to ensure that it is operating properly. If the pressure reading is consistently high, it may be an indication that the filter media is clogged and needs to be cleaned or replaced. Conversely, if the pressure reading is consistently low, it may be an indication of a leak or other problem in the system.
