Fluidra - Sand Filter Pressure Gauge 1/8" 3 bar

Fluidra – Sand Filter Pressure Gauge 1/8″ 3 bar

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement pressure gauge for the Astral Aster Ø750 mm sand filter with 2″ connections. Fitted with a 1/8″ BSP male thread and a maximum reading of 3 kg/cm² (≈ 3 bar), it provides a clear, at-a-glance reading of the internal filter pressure so you always know when backwashing or maintenance is needed.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM spare part for the Fluidra Astral Aster side-mount sand filter range, specifically the Ø750 mm / 2″ model rated at 21,000 l/h. Always verify your filter model and existing gauge thread size (1/8″ BSP) before ordering, as other Aster tank diameters may use a different gauge specification.

Why genuine matters

An accurate pressure gauge is essential for safe, efficient filtration. A worn or inaccurate gauge can mask rising filter pressure, leading to reduced flow, potential over-pressurisation, or missed backwash cycles. Using a genuine Fluidra part ensures the correct pressure range, a precise dial calibration, and a leak-free 1/8″ BSP thread fit matched to the original port on your filter body.

Installation

Thread the gauge into the 1/8″ BSP port on the filter body using PTFE tape on the male thread to ensure a watertight seal. Shut down and depressurise the system fully before removal or installation. No specialist tools are required, but if you are unfamiliar with pressurised filter systems, professional installation is recommended.
