Accurate pressure readings are critical for maintaining a healthy pool filtration system. When pressure rises unexpectedly, it often signals a dirty filter, blocked plumbing, or valve restriction. When pressure drops, it can indicate suction leaks, air intrusion, or pump-side issues. The American Granby Side Mount Pressure Gauge (0–60 PSI) provides a clear, dependable way to monitor system pressure so problems are identified early—before they lead to equipment damage or water quality issues.

Designed specifically for side-mount pool and spa filter applications, this gauge installs directly into standard side-mounted pressure ports commonly found on multiport valves and filter tanks. It delivers fast, easy-to-read PSI feedback during operation, making it an essential diagnostic tool for both pool service professionals and serious homeowners.

This is a pool-industry pressure gauge built for real filtration systems—not a repurposed plumbing gauge.

Why Pressure Monitoring Is Essential for Pool Filtration

Filter pressure is one of the most important indicators of overall system health. Without a working pressure gauge, diagnosing problems becomes guesswork.

Pressure changes commonly reveal:

• Dirty or clogged filter media

• Obstructed return lines

• Mispositioned or failing valves

• Pump basket or impeller blockages

• Air leaks on the suction side

• Flow restrictions caused by collapsed hoses or fittings

The American Granby 0–60 PSI side mount gauge allows you to establish a clean-filter baseline pressure and track changes over time, helping prevent over-pressurization, unnecessary service calls, and premature equipment failure.

Designed for Side-Mount Filter and Valve Installations

This gauge is engineered specifically for side-mount installation, making it ideal for systems where the pressure port is located on the side of the filter tank or multiport valve rather than the top.

The side-mount orientation improves visibility in many equipment pad layouts, allowing technicians and homeowners to read pressure quickly without leaning over tanks or plumbing. Once installed, the gauge provides continuous feedback during normal operation and backwashing cycles.

The 0–60 PSI range is perfectly matched to pool and spa filtration systems, providing better accuracy and readability than higher-range industrial gauges that reduce resolution where it matters most.

Built for Professional Service and Outdoor Conditions

American Granby components are designed for the realities of pool environments, including outdoor exposure, temperature swings, and constant vibration from pump operation. This pressure gauge is built to maintain consistent readings over time, even in demanding service conditions.

For pool service professionals, a reliable gauge means:

• Faster diagnostics

• Fewer repeat visits

• Confident filter maintenance decisions

For homeowners, it provides peace of mind—ensuring the system is operating within safe pressure limits and alerting you when maintenance is required.

Clear Dial for Fast, Accurate Readings

The gauge features a clearly marked dial face with easy-to-read PSI increments. This allows for quick visual checks during routine service visits or equipment inspections.

Ideal for:

• Establishing clean-filter pressure baselines

• Monitoring pressure rise between cleanings

• Verifying proper valve operation

• Confirming system performance after repairs

A properly functioning pressure gauge is one of the simplest and most effective tools for protecting expensive pool equipment.

Compatibility and Common Applications

The American Granby Side Mount Pressure Gauge is commonly used on:

• Sand filters with side-mounted ports

• Cartridge filters with side pressure connections

• DE filters with side-mount multiport valves

• Residential and light commercial pool systems

• Spa filtration systems operating within standard pressure ranges

If your existing gauge is cracked, fogged, stuck, or missing, replacement should be immediate. Operating a pool system without a reliable pressure gauge significantly increases the risk of filter damage and unsafe pressure conditions.

When to Replace a Side Mount Pool Pressure Gauge

A pool pressure gauge should be replaced if:

• The needle does not return to zero when the system is off

• The gauge face becomes fogged or water-filled

• Readings stick or fluctuate erratically

• The dial or housing is cracked

• The gauge is missing or unreadable

Because a pressure gauge protects far more expensive components, timely replacement is always a smart preventive maintenance decision.
