4. Informações de segurança

  • Always ensure the system is depressurized before installing or removing the gauge.
  • Do not exceed the maximum pressure rating of 60 psi.
  • Handle with care to avoid damage to the gauge or its components.
  • Keep small parts, such as adaptors and setable cases, away from children.
  • If using thread sealant tape, apply it correctly to prevent leaks.

5. Configuração e instalação

Follow these steps to properly install your Weewooday Pool Filter Pressure Gauge:

  1. Despressurizar sistema: Before beginning installation, ensure that the pool filter system is completely shut off and depressurized.
  2. Preparar os fios: If necessary, apply thread sealant tape (PTFE tape) to the threads of the pressure gauge or the brass thread adaptor. Wrap the tape clockwise around the threads 3-5 times for a secure, leak-free seal.
  3. Attach Adaptor (if needed): If your system requires a 1/8 inch NPT connection, first screw the 1/8 inch NPT to 1/4 inch NPT brass thread adaptor onto the gauge's 1/4 inch NPT connection. Tighten by hand, then use a wrench for a final snug turn, being careful not to overtighten.
  4. Instalar medidor: Screw the pressure gauge (with or without adaptor) into the designated pressure port on your pool filter or pump. Ensure it is oriented so the dial is easily readable. Tighten by hand, then use a wrench for a final snug turn. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or the gauge.
  5. Verifique se há vazamentos: Once installed, slowly repressurize the system and check for any leaks around the connection points. If leaks are detected, depressurize the system and re-tighten the connections or reapply thread sealant tape.

6. Operação

The Weewooday Pool Filter Pressure Gauge is designed for straightforward operation:

  • Lendo o indicador: The gauge features a dual scale. The outer black scale indicates pressure in PSI (pounds per square inch), and the inner red scale indicates pressure in BAR. Read the value indicated by the needle.
  • "Clean Filter" Indicator: The gauge includes a "Clean Filter" indicator. After cleaning or replacing your filter, note the pressure reading and rotate the outer bezel to align the "START" arrow with the current pressure. This provides a reference point to easily monitor when your filter needs cleaning again.
  • Monitoramento da pressão: Regularly check the pressure reading. A significant increase in pressure (typically 8-10 PSI above the "Clean Filter" reading) indicates that the filter is becoming clogged and requires cleaning or backwashing.

7. Manutenção

  • Limpeza: Wipe the gauge face with a soft, damp Use um pano para remover sujeira ou detritos. Não utilize produtos químicos agressivos ou abrasivos.
  • Inspeção: Periodically inspect the gauge for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the casing or a bent needle. Ensure the connection remains tight and free of leaks.
  • Armazenar: If removing the gauge for winterization or extended storage, ensure it is clean and dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

8. Solução De Problemas

ProblemaPossível causaSolução
Gauge reads zero when system is running.System is depressurized, gauge is faulty, or connection is blocked.Check system pressure. Ensure gauge is properly installed and not clogged. Replace if faulty.
Gauge needle fluctuates erratically.Air in the system, pump cavitation, or gauge damage.Bleed air from the system. Check pump for proper operation. Replace gauge if damaged.
Water or condensation inside the gauge.Seal failure or exposure to excessive moisture.This indicates a compromised seal. The gauge should be replaced.
Leaks at the connection point.Improperly applied thread sealant tape or loose connection.Depressurize system, reapply thread sealant tape, and tighten connection securely.
