Filter gauge reliability

[gmgm55]

I am wondering if anyone can tell me how accurate a hayward cartridge filter gauge is.

I ran my pump all winter for about 5 hours a day. The last time I cleaned the filter was in October and I reset the clean gauge mark to 11. The gauge was now reading 12 but after all the pollen we had this year I figured it was a good time to clean it. After I cleaned it the gauge is still 12.

Is it normal for the gauge to not drop any after cleaning? Could the gauge be bad? The gauge does go to zero when pump is off and varies when the pump is turn down.

All of the major pool companies use cheap failure prone gauges that rarely last more than a few years, and are particularly prone to failure after being exposed to freezing conditions

If it were me I would just get a new liquid filled gauge and be done with it. Dave at TFTestkits has them.

The ones Dave has are dang near free for the quality.
