4. Setup jeung Instalasi
Follow these steps for proper installation of the pressure gauge kit:
- Sistim depressurize: Before beginning installation, ensure that the pool or spa filtration system is turned off and completely depressurized. This is crucial for safety and to prevent water leakage.
- Tangtukeun Titik Pamasangan: Identify the designated port on your filter or pump housing where the pressure gauge is to be installed. This is typically a threaded opening.
- Prepare T-fitting (if applicable): If your system requires the T-fitting for installation, apply thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape) to the male threads of the T-fitting. Screw the T-fitting into the designated port on your filter or pump. Do not overtighten.
- Pasang alat ukur tekanan: Apply thread sealant to the brass male threads of the pressure gauge. Carefully screw the pressure gauge into the top port of the T-fitting or directly into the filter/pump housing if no T-fitting is required. Ensure the O-ring is properly seated if it's part of the gauge's connection. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final snug turn, being careful not to overtighten.
- Install Drain Plug: If using the T-fitting, install the plastic drain plug into the remaining open port of the T-fitting. Apply thread sealant if necessary. This plug can also function as a bleed valve.
- Pariksa bocor: Once all components are installed, slowly repressurize the system and carefully check all connections for any signs of water leakage. Tighten connections slightly if leaks are detected.
5. Parentah Operasi

- Pressure Readings: Regularly check the pressure reading. A significant increase in pressure above your baseline typically indicates a dirty filter that requires cleaning or backwashing.
- Tekanan turun: A sudden drop in pressure could indicate a blockage in the suction line or a pump issue.
- Hawa getihan: If air is trapped in the system, the drain plug on the T-fitting can often be loosened slightly to bleed air until water flows out, then retightened.
