How to Replace a Water Pump Pressure Gauge

In any fluid flow system, a fully functioning pressure gauge is absolutely essential. It helps you to regulate pressure throughout the system, ensuring that it is performing at peak capacity. So, if your pressure gauge has ceased to function properly, it’s time to replace it. By following the simple steps below, you can ensure that the process will be as easy and hassle-free as possible.

1. Turn off the power

Make sure the system is off before proceeding to mitigate the risk of damaging other components in the system.

2. Turn off the feed

This helps to ensure that you don’t create a mess by spraying water all over your facility.

3. Drain excess water

Even when you turn off the feed, there will still be pressurized water in the pipes. So make sure to drain all of it into a receptacle before proceeding.

4. Remove faulty gauge

When you unscrew the gauge, look for obvious signs of damage to the component which could indicate the source of the malfunction.

5. Check for blockage

Check the piping around the gauge for blockage, as this could even render your new gauge ineffective if left unattended.

6. Screw in the new gauge

Carefully attach the new gauge making sure it is properly threaded and securely fastened to the adjacent piping.

7. Turn the system back on

Once the replacement has been completed, it’s time to turn the system on and check to make sure your new gauge is working properly.
