Fluidra – Sand Filter Pressure Gauge 1/8" 6 kg/cm²

Fluidra – Sand Filter Pressure Gauge 1/8″ 6 kg/cm²

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement pressure gauge for the Aster laminated sand filter range. Fitted with a standard 1/8″ BSP male thread and a 0–6 kg/cm² scale, it gives pool owners and technicians an accurate, at-a-glance reading of filter operating pressure — the primary indicator for when a backwash cycle is needed.

Compatibility

This gauge is the factory-specified spare part for Fluidra Aster sand filters (4 bar series). It is also compatible with Fluidra Delta (Ø650–1200 mm) and Norma (Ø1000–1200 mm) laminated sand filters that share the same 1/8″ gauge port. Always cross-reference your filter model before ordering.

Why Genuine Matters

A worn or inaccurate pressure gauge leads to missed backwash cycles, reduced filtration efficiency, and unnecessary strain on the pump. The genuine Fluidra part is calibrated to the Aster filter’s maximum working pressure of 2.5 kg/cm² operating range, ensuring reliable readings throughout the filter’s service life. Third-party gauges may use non-standard fittings or offer lower accuracy.

Installation

The 1/8″ BSP thread screws directly into the existing gauge port on the filter head or multiport valve body — no adapters required for compatible models. Apply PTFE tape to the thread before fitting and hand-tighten, then snug with a spanner. Check for leaks when the system is first re-pressurised. No specialist tools are needed, though those unfamiliar with pressurised pool systems should consult a qualified technician.
