Note the baseline pressure reading immediately after a clean backwash or cartridge rinse — when the reading climbs 8–10 psi above that baseline during normal operation, it's time to service the filter media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-06-22 --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774098473235,"sku":"ECX270861-100","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/HPPECX270861_0.jpg?v=1747698199","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward-pressure-gauge-1-4-bottom-mount-ecx270861","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
