Hayward Pressure Gauge with Dial In stock$3583
Quick overview
- Genuine Hayward part Factory ECX271261 gauge rather than a hardware store substitute.
- Dial face Reads filter pressure at a glance from the pad.
- Tells you when to clean Filter service is driven by the rise above clean pressure, and without a working gauge that number is a guess.
- Catches real problems A gauge that reads low points at a suction side restriction, not a dirty filter.
- Fails quietly Gauges stick, fog or drift and keep showing a plausible number, so a stuck needle is easy to trust for too long.
- Cheap part, expensive to skip Running blind on filter pressure is how pumps get starved and cartridges get ruined.

Product details
The Hayward ECX271261 is the genuine pressure gauge with dial used on Hayward pool filters. It is catalogued with the Star Clear Plus cartridge filters, models C751, C900, C1200, C1750 and C1900.
Why the gauge matters
Filter pressure is the only instrument most pool systems have. Clean the filter, note the reading, and every service decision afterwards is made against that baseline. A rise of roughly 8 to 10 psi says the media is loaded. A reading that drops instead says the pump is being starved on the suction side, which is a different and more urgent problem.
How gauges fail
They almost never fail obviously. The needle sticks, the face fogs, or the calibration drifts, and the gauge keeps showing a number that looks reasonable. That is worse than no gauge, because the pool gets serviced on bad information. If the needle does not return to zero with the pump off, replace it.
Before you order
Check the thread and the position of the gauge port on your filter head. Hayward uses several gauges across its filter range, and this is the one listed for the Star Clear Plus cartridge line.
