Hi Mark nice video. If I wanted to clean the glass visual piece next to the gauge, does that just unscrew? I have same multiport as in your video or close to it.
@@1946bike Sorry about that. Constant supply chain issues. Here's a link to the pressure gauge. hallmarkpoolsupplies.com/search.aspx?searchterm=81030BUCF
Thanks for the sharing! The pessure gauge isnt working at my sand filter. When I unscrewed it off, there was non-stop water flowing out from it. Did I miss anything?
I’ve got this exact unit & apparently after watching this video it’s definitely broken ( reading high & stays high after power off ) Thanks for the video 👍
@@DougHellgreen All pressure gauges read 0 when off. If your gauge is reading 0 when the pump is on and fully primed then you need to replace the gauge. Thanks for watching.
The pressure gauge can be installed on the side of the multiport. On some filter systems the gauge can be installed on the filter tank itself. Thanks for watching.
Mark, first I want to thank you so much. Spending my whole vacation week on my inground pool problems….🙄( leaks to find, etc), decided to change the pressure gage, and….overthight, tiny crack in the housing, tried silicone it, no good, anything else you suggest as a patchy job? Beside changing the whole housing on my Hayward filter? Thanks in advance from Montreal, Canada
If the multiport housing is cracked then you need to replace the multiport. The valve is under pressure and patching it is temporary at best, and usually does not work. Thanks for watching.
My Hayward multi port gauge opening is leaking due to treads being ruined on the multi port no matter how much tape I put on it it will still leak and suggestions.
If the multi port is cracked or the threads are stripped the best way to repair is to replace your valve. Sometimes sealants can be used but this is a temporary fix.
You have to be careful and try to tap out the broke piece. You should be able to remove with a flat head screwdriver and/or a pair of needle nose pliers.
If this is a new gauge then make Teflon tape was wrapped around the threads or it’s possible you may over tighten the gauge. Check for any cracks in the valve body.
@@HallmarkPoolSupplies ok thanks, I didn’t touch it once I took the wrapping off. It was nit leaking initially. The pump was off then when I returned from work to turn it on then I noticed it. I wish I can send you a video of it lol.
So, do we need to move the lever to CLOSE before removing the old one or will this not get water and/or pressure as long as the pump/filter is off? Thanks for sharing!!
@@HallmarkPoolSupplies I will say, there's no mention that water will leak/pour out of the port between changes. I hope this is fine and I didn't ruin anything. The water valve was shut off and the head was moved to CLOSED - still had water pouring out.
@@HallmarkPoolSupplies do you have any idea what size pressure gauge is on the intex 16" sandfilter? Iv already bought two that are too big! I measured the one that came with the intex but i measured across the bottom that screws in, and it was about 3/8. But then i read . You are supposed to measure the inside diameter of the female npt, but i still am unsure as now iv overloaded on npt mnpt fnpt 😵
