Hayward PRESSURE GAUGE (BOXED)

The Hayward Pressure Gauge (Boxed) is a precision diagnostic tool engineered to monitor the internal hydraulic pressure of pool and spa filtration systems, serving as the primary indicator for system health. Housed in a rugged, weather-resistant casing with a high-visibility dial face, this analog instrument utilizes a $1/4$-inch NPT threaded connection for secure installation into the filter’s air relief or manifold assembly. Its primary mechanical function is to measure the resistance of water flow through the filter media; as debris accumulates, the internal Bourdon tube mechanism translates hydraulic pressure into a needle movement, signaling to the operator when a cleaning or "bumping" cycle is necessary. The gauge is often designed with a "start" and "clean" marking system, allowing for a personalized baseline to be set during initial startup. Built to withstand the harsh, chemically active environment of an outdoor equipment pad, it features a clear, impact-resistant lens and corrosion-resistant internal components that resist the degrading effects of chlorine and salt. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward Pressure Gauge (Boxed) is approximately 0.38 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the individual gauge unit is roughly 0.24 pounds.
