Pressure Gauge, 1-6 bar, for Pressure Vessel Systems

Description

Overview

This is a 1-6 bar pressure gauge for water systems that use a pressure vessel. It lets you see the pressure your pump system is actually delivering, instead of guessing from how the taps feel.

A gauge is the cheapest diagnostic tool on a pump set. Watch the needle as the pump starts and stops and you can see whether the pressure switch is cutting in and out where you set it, whether the vessel has lost its air charge, and whether pressure is sagging under demand.

Key features

• Scale of 1 to 6 bar, matched to domestic and small farm pressure vessel systems
• Shows water pressure from your pump system directly
• Made for use with a pressure vessel
• Helps you set and check a 1-6 bar pressure switch
• Useful for fault-finding: short cycling, low pressure and a waterlogged vessel
• Small, light and quick to fit

Where it works

Fit it on the pressure vessel manifold of a house booster set, a farm homestead pump or a borehole pump feeding a pressure tank. Plumbers in Gauteng and the Western Cape fit one on every installation so they can set the switch and hand over a system that can be checked later.

Check that the thread suits the tapping on your manifold before you order, and ask us if you are unsure. The 6 bar upper limit suits typical domestic and light agricultural set-ups, so do not use it on circuits that run higher. Related lines are in our tank accessories.
