AstralPool – pressure gauge anchor (mounting socket) SP-04-0300

The AstralPool Pressure Gauge Anchor is the threaded mounting socket that secures a pressure gauge to your pool filter tank or pipework. It provides a stable, leak-free anchor point, ensuring the pressure gauge is held firmly in place for accurate and reliable filter pressure readings. As a genuine AstralPool spare part, it is manufactured to the exact tolerances of the original component.

Function & importance

The pressure gauge anchor acts as the fixed interface between your filter body and the pressure gauge instrument. A worn, cracked, or stripped anchor can cause leaks around the gauge port or lead to inaccurate pressure readings, making it difficult to judge when backwashing or filter maintenance is required. Replacing a damaged anchor promptly restores the integrity of your filtration system’s monitoring.

Why genuine matters

Using a genuine AstralPool replacement anchor guarantees correct thread specification, material grade, and dimensional fit. Aftermarket alternatives may not seal correctly against the filter body or gauge thread, risking persistent leaks or premature failure. The SP-04-0300 is sourced directly from Fluidra/AstralPool, ensuring OEM quality and long-term reliability.

Installation

The anchor is designed to be fitted into the designated port on compatible AstralPool filter tanks or manifolds. Installation typically involves removing the existing gauge and anchor, cleaning the port seat, and threading in the new anchor with an appropriate sealant or PTFE tape on the threads. If you are unsure of compatibility with your specific filter model, consult the filter’s spare parts diagram or contact a qualified pool technician before ordering.
