Fluidra - Filter Pressure Gauge 1/8" 0–3 bar for Baracuda WT2 Ø600

Fluidra – Filter Pressure Gauge 1/8″ 0–3 bar for Baracuda WT2 Ø600

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement pressure gauge for the Baracuda WT2 sand filter (Ø600 mm, 1½” connections). Rated to 3 kgf/cm² (approximately 3 bar / 43 psi), it screws directly into the filter head via a standard 1/8″ threaded port and gives an at-a-glance reading of the pressure inside the filter tank. Monitoring filter pressure is essential for knowing when to backwash and for detecting blockages or pump issues before they cause damage.

Compatibility

This pressure gauge is a factory-specified spare part for the Fluidra Baracuda WT2 sand filter with a Ø600 mm tank and 1½” pipework connections. Always cross-reference your filter’s model number and existing gauge thread size before ordering to confirm fitment. It may also suit other Fluidra/Astral filter heads sharing a 1/8″ gauge port, but compatibility beyond the Baracuda WT2 Ø600 is not guaranteed.

Why genuine matters

Aftermarket gauges often use lower-grade bourdon tube mechanisms that lose calibration accuracy over a single season, giving false readings that lead to unnecessary backwashing or, worse, missed over-pressure events. A genuine Fluidra part is manufactured to the same tolerances as the original, ensuring reliable readings throughout its service life and preserving the integrity of your filter warranty.

Installation

Replacement is straightforward: relieve system pressure, unscrew the old gauge from the 1/8″ port on the filter head, apply PTFE thread tape to the new gauge’s male thread, and hand-tighten followed by a quarter-turn with a spanner. Restart the pump and check for leaks before returning the system to normal operation. If you are unsure about working on a pressurised system, engage a qualified pool technician.
