Pressure Gauge Noise On Cartridge Filter Unit
Does not make noise every time, but most times. I have taken filter in and out 3-5 times and putting it back in and still the loud pressure gauge noise. I have even purchased a new gauge and installed and still having the noise issue. The filter is less than 2 years old and in great shape. Thanks for the question I'm wondering if it's actually the water pressure in the filter and not necessarily the gauge itself. This can happen when you have a suction side leak. But let's say everything checks out alright and it is the gauge. On thing is to check the end for a small O-ring. It's about the size of the end of your pinky finger. If it's missing, you can replace it. Also, try some white plumbing tape around the threads. Be sure you just snug the gauge, don't make it too tight. Check around the hole that the gauge fits into for cracks. It may not be evenly seated. Did this happen last year? If it didn't, you can ask yourself if there's anything different you've done this year as opposed to last year. Unfortunately, if the filter is cracked or broken, there's really no easy fix. If you have any additional questions or would like to comment on your post, you can find it at the bottom of the Swimming Pool Filter Cartridge page and the Q&A page in the "Cartridge Filters" category: Swimming Pool Questions and Answers Hope this helps and let me know how it turns out for you.
