Fluidra - Pressure Gauge Assembly 1/8" BSP – Vesubio / Volcano Sand Filter

Fluidra – Pressure Gauge Assembly 1/8″ BSP – Vesubio / Volcano Sand Filter

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement pressure gauge assembly with a 1/8″ BSP threaded connection, designed for the AstralPool Vesubio and Volcano fiberglass sand filter range. It allows operators to monitor filtration system pressure in real time, giving a clear indication of when the filter media needs backwashing. Replacing a faulty or damaged gauge restores safe, accurate pressure monitoring to your filtration system.

Compatibility

This assembly is the correct OEM replacement for the Fluidra AstralPool Vesubio and Volcano fiberglass sand filters, specifically the Ø750 mm / 22,000 l/h model with 2″ inlet/outlet connections. Always confirm your filter’s model number against the Fluidra spare parts catalogue before ordering, as gauge specifications can vary across the range.

Why Genuine Matters

A genuine Fluidra pressure gauge assembly is manufactured to the exact pressure rating and thread specification of the original part, ensuring a leak-free seal and accurate readings within the filter’s maximum operating pressure. Aftermarket gauges may not match the 1/8″ BSP port precisely, risking leaks or misleading pressure readings that could lead to under- or over-backwashing.

Installation

Always isolate and depressurise the filtration system completely before removing the old gauge. Apply suitable thread sealant tape to the 1/8″ BSP male thread before fitting, and hand-tighten before using a spanner to avoid overtightening and cracking the port. Recommission the system carefully, checking for leaks before returning the filter to normal operation. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with pressurised filtration systems.
