Installation Considerations

While the G3000 is designed for straightforward installation, keep these points in mind:

1. Choose between side or base entry based on your filter’s configuration
2. Ensure your filter has a compatible 0.25″ female thread connection
3. Use appropriate thread sealant to prevent leaks
4. Install the gauge in a location that’s easy to read and access
5. Consider installing a ball valve between the gauge and the system for easy removal if needed

If you’re not comfortable with plumbing work, I recommend consulting a professional to ensure proper installation.

Maintenance Tips

To keep your G3000 functioning accurately:

1. Regularly clean the gauge face for clear readings
2. Check for any signs of corrosion or damage, especially around the connection point
3. Periodically verify the accuracy of the gauge by comparing it with a known good gauge
4. If the gauge shows signs of fogging or internal moisture, consider replacing it
5. Always handle the gauge carefully to avoid damaging the internal mechanisms

Usage Guide

1. Record the pressure when your system is clean and operating normally. This is your baseline pressure.
2. Check the pressure regularly, ideally every time you use the pool.
3. If the pressure rises 8-10 PSI above the baseline, it’s time to clean or backwash your filter.
4. Sudden drops in pressure could indicate a pump problem or a large leak in the system.
