The pressure gauge on your Pentair 178561 Almond Lid Assembly is a critical tool for determining when your filter needs cleaning or maintenance.

When the pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI (pounds per square inch) above the clean operating pressure, it indicates that the filter element is dirty and requires cleaning or replacement.
