Waterco Gauge Panel, Flange Mount

The Waterco Flange-Mount Dual Pressure Gauge Panel is an engineered commercial monitoring package manufactured by Waterco for use on commercial fiberglass sand filters (such as the Micron SM, SMD, and SPDD vertical series, as well as the Micron Horizontal series). Designed to mount directly across the filter valve flange or face piping manifold without taking up mechanical room wall space, this assembly monitors operational head loss, media bed compaction, and differential pressure ($\Delta P$) across the media bed.

Operational & Diagnostic Details

• Differential Monitoring: By subtracting the outlet reading from the inlet reading, the operator reads the exact pressure drop ($\Delta P$) across the sand bed.

• Backwash Initiation Benchmark: Clean media runs with a baseline differential of approximately 3 to 5 psi (20 to 35 kPa). A rise of 8 to 10 psi (55 to 70 kPa) above the baseline indicates dirt loading, signaling the operator to backwash.

• Direct Flange Bracket: Secures the panel securely to the filter’s face piping spool without vibration-induced fatigue or wall drilling.

• Shipping Weight: Approx. 4.5 to 7.0 lbs (2.0 to 3.2 kg) complete with mounting bracket, two gauges, isolation petcocks, and tubing kit.
