Whether your pool filter is sand, cartridge or diatomaceous earth, the pressure tells you when the filter needs service. As the filter becomes dirty over time, the pressure of the system will rise. The smart pool gauge will alert you when the pressure reaches the threshold indicating that it is time to service your filter.

Avoid wasting water on unnecessary cleaning, ensure peak filter operation, pump and heater life without the need to continuously monitor your pressure gauge.

In addition to the fact that you can break your filter if the pressure is allowed to get too high, you can also seriously reduce the expected service life from your filter internals if you are constantly overworking it. Additionally, your filter pressure being too high will put undue strain on your pump, shortening its life while increasing your electrical costs. 

The cost of replacement cartridge filters is very high. If you constantly operate your pool at higher than normal pressures then this can cause the filter elements to wear quickly if not rip and fail completely.

Leaks, blockages, low water levels, air in the system and high pressure can lead to costly damage to pumps, pipes, heaters, filters and other equipment. For example, the cost to replace today's high efficiency pool pumps can be in the thousands of dollars.   With Smart Pool Gauge you receive immediate alerts for abnormal pressures, allowing you to address problems before they can lead to damage and expensive repairs. 

You should never operate a pool system above 30 PSI. Anything above this can result in a dangerous rupture. The Smart Pool Gauge will send alerts until the problem is addressed and the pressure drops below 30 PSI.  

Notifications can be sent by both email and SMS text message, ensuring they won't be missed.
