Thanks for the sharing! The pessure gauge isnt working at my sand filter. When I unscrewed it off, there was non-stop water flowing out from it. Did I miss anything?

I have the multi port xl. What should the pressure be when running and when should i backwash?

@bigonebikes 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Mark nice video. If I wanted to clean the glass visual piece next to the gauge, does that just unscrew? I have same multiport as in your video or close to it.

Yes it just unscrews out.

Mark, first I want to thank you so much. Spending my whole vacation week on my inground pool problems….🙄( leaks to find, etc), decided to change the pressure gage, and….overthight, tiny crack in the housing, tried silicone it, no good, anything else you suggest as a patchy job? Beside changing the whole housing on my Hayward filter? Thanks in advance from Montreal, Canada

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 11 ай бұрын

If the multiport housing is cracked then you need to replace the multiport. The valve is under pressure and patching it is temporary at best, and usually does not work. Thanks for watching.

Hi, where I install a pressure gauge in my multiport hayward SPO715G50M? it came with no pressure gauge?

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 4 ай бұрын

The pressure gauge can be installed on the side of the multiport. On some filter systems the gauge can be installed on the filter tank itself. Thanks for watching.

So, do we need to move the lever to CLOSE before removing the old one or will this not get water and/or pressure as long as the pump/filter is off? Thanks for sharing!!

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 3 ай бұрын

As long as the system is off you will be fine. Thanks for watching.

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies I will say, there's no mention that water will leak/pour out of the port between changes. I hope this is fine and I didn't ruin anything. The water valve was shut off and the head was moved to CLOSED - still had water pouring out.

My Hayward multi port gauge opening is leaking due to treads being ruined on the multi port no matter how much tape I put on it it will still leak and suggestions.

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 2 жыл бұрын

If the multi port is cracked or the threads are stripped the best way to repair is to replace your valve. Sometimes sealants can be used but this is a temporary fix.

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 2 жыл бұрын

The gauge should only be on 0 when the system is off. I would recommend to replace it.

my gauge broke off this afternoon so that sleeve is still inside the pump. how do i remove this?

@HallmarkPoolSupplies Жыл бұрын

You have to be careful and try to tap out the broke piece. You should be able to remove with a flat head screwdriver and/or a pair of needle nose pliers.

my motor is running, and water circulating in filter but psi wont go up over 3, I notice a few bubbles coming from the jet

If your pump is fully primed and your pressure gauge is only reading 3 psi then you need to replace your pressure gauge. Thanks for watching.

do i need the gauge or can i just plug the hole?

The pressure gauge will let you know when to backwash. If you go by visual reference then you can plug it, but a gauge is best.

Water is leaking out of my gauge and I have water in my gauge. What do I do I just installed my pump unless then a week ago. Help please.

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 3 жыл бұрын

If this is a new gauge then make Teflon tape was wrapped around the threads or it’s possible you may over tighten the gauge. Check for any cracks in the valve body.

@Cynattitude78 3 жыл бұрын

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies ok thanks, I didn’t touch it once I took the wrapping off. It was nit leaking initially. The pump was off then when I returned from work to turn it on then I noticed it. I wish I can send you a video of it lol.

so you don't need to release the pressure valve on the filter first, before unscrewing the old pressure gauge?

That is correct, if you want to you can but it is not necessary.

I measured the one that came with the intex but i measured across the bottom that screws in, and it was about 3/8. But then i read .
