What does the pressure gauge on my pool filter do
A pressure gauge on a pool filter is used to measure the resistance to flow (pressure) in the filter system. This pressure is an indication of how clogged the filter is and can be used to determine when to clean or replace the filter.
The pressure gauge is typically located on the filter housing and is connected to the inlet and outlet ports of the filter. As the filter becomes clogged with dirt and debris, the pressure inside the filter housing will increase. This increased pressure will be reflected on the gauge, typically in pounds per square inch (psi).
When the pressure gauge reading is in the normal range (usually between 8-12 psi), this indicates that the filter is working correctly and is not clogged. However, if the pressure gauge reading is higher than normal, this indicates that the filter is clogged and needs to be cleaned or replaced.
Cleaning a pool filter typically involves removing the filter element and cleaning it with a hose or in a filter cleaning solution. In some cases, the filter element may need to be replaced.
It's important to check the pressure gauge regularly and clean or replace the filter as needed to maintain efficient filtration and proper pool water circulation. This will help prolong the life of the filter and ensure that the pool water remains clean and clear.
