Panneau manomètre
Product Code: PG-1
Category: Filtres
Panneau manomètre pour le contrôle de la pression du filtre. Se monte sur le filtre ou sur le collecteur et indique d'un coup d'œil la pression de service, signalant quand le média de sable est encrassé et qu'un contre-lavage s'impose. Notez la valeur filtre propre après chaque contre-lavage ; lorsque l'aiguille monte de 0,5–0,7 bar au-dessus de cette valeur, effectuez un nouveau contre-lavage. Une pression qui ne monte jamais indique un lit de sable canalisé ou une vanne multivoies qui fuit, tandis qu'une pression qui reste élevée après contre-lavage indique un sable calcifié à remplacer. S'adapte à la prise manomètre standard des filtres Waterstar à vanne top et à vanne latérale.

Frequently asked questions
What do the six positions of the multiport valve do?
Filter (normal running), Backwash (reverses flow to flush the bed to waste), Rinse (re-settles the bed for 20–30 seconds after a backwash), Waste (drains the pool or vacuums heavy dirt straight to drain, bypassing the filter), Recirculate (circulates without filtering, used when dosing) and Closed. Always stop the pump before moving the handle.
Which multiport valve fits my filter?
MPV-T valves are top-mount, for the Waterstar T-series residential filters; MPV-S valves are side-mount. Both come in 1.5 inch and 2 inch — choose the size of your pump and pipework. All are 6-way with a pressure-gauge port; the MPV-T-15 connects to a 50 mm filter tree.
Which sand grade goes where?
0.4–0.8 mm silica sand (FM-4-8-25) is the filtration layer used in every Waterstar filter. 0.8–1.2 mm (FM-8-12-25) is the intermediate layer specified on some commercial filters between the 1–2 mm gravel support bed and the fine sand. Never substitute building sand — it is neither washed nor graded and will channel.
How often should the sand be replaced?
Every few seasons, or sooner when backwash intervals get shorter, the water stays cloudy after a backwash, or the bed has channelled or formed mud balls. Replace the full charge with the grade on the filter's data sheet and rinse the new bed before the first filter cycle.
