Installation Considerations
While the G3010B is designed for straightforward installation, keep these points in mind:
- Ensure your filter has a compatible 0.25″ female thread connection on the side
- Use appropriate thread sealant to prevent leaks
- Install the gauge carefully to avoid damaging the side mount connection
- Ensure the gauge face is oriented correctly for easy reading after installation
- Do not overtighten, as this may damage the gauge or the filter housing
If you’re not comfortable with plumbing work, I recommend consulting a professional to ensure proper installation.
Maintenance Tips
To keep your G3010B functioning at its best:
- Regularly clean the gauge face for clear readings
- Check for any signs of glycerine leakage or damage
- Periodically verify the accuracy of the gauge
- Protect the gauge from extreme impacts or sharp temperature changes
- If the glycerine level appears low or the gauge shows signs of damage, consider replacement
Usage Guide
- Record the pressure when your system is clean and operating normally. This is your baseline pressure.
- Check the pressure regularly, ideally every time you use the pool.
- If the pressure rises 8-10 PSI above the baseline, it’s time to clean or backwash your filter.
- Sudden drops in pressure could indicate a pump problem or a large leak in the system.
