It is the standard replacement for a filter gauge that has stopped reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a working gauge matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilter maintenance is not run on a calendar, it is run on pressure. You note the reading with a clean filter, and when it climbs eight to ten pounds above that the media or the cartridges need attention. Take the gauge away and the whole method goes with it. A fogged face, a needle stuck off zero or a gauge reading high sends people into backwashing filters that were fine and leaving blinded ones in service until flow suffers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stem is 1\/4 inch and comes out of the bottom, so confirm your filter takes a bottom mount rather than a back mount before ordering. Use thread sealant tape sparingly and tighten by hand plus a light turn with a wrench. Overtightening a gauge into a plastic filter lid cracks the lid, which is a far more expensive part than the gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Granby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634999537876,"sku":"SPG-06-1005","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_97beb028-c0bb-4076-b0d6-1046e40cd282.jpg?v=1788839331","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/pressure-gauge-steel-2-60-psi-1-4-bottom-mount","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
