Thank you, Mike. One note on safety: After installing the valve, be sure to open the valve first then start the pump second. Bleed out all the air from the tank, then close the valve. There are cases where folks have been injured or killed when the lid of the tank blew off because the air was not bled out. At the same pressure, a filter tank full of air is more dangerous than a tank full of water. Air compresses and expands, but water doesn't, so you can have an explosive situation with compressed air.

How? I mean… air compresses… water is flowing out the way it should… these things have an operating max of about 60 PSI… find me one article that says someone got injured from not bleeding the air out.

Great video. Tells you all you need to know about replacing filter gauge and valve. I ordered these parts on line, but of course there were no directions with product. Guess the company assumes the pool owner replaces this valve every day. Thanks to Mike Klimek

Thanks for this video. Very helpful to see a how-to rather than reading one. Can I ask a follow up question? You turned your pool pump off before doing this repair. Is turning it back on all that's necessary after the repair is done, or are their additional steps? We bought a house with a pool, and I'm scared to death to ruin something expensive with a rookie mistake. Thanks in advance for your response!

If that is leaking air out would that cause bubbles to come out of my return lines?
@MikeKlimek

If you have an air leak that is pushing air out, it wouldn't. If you have a suction leak, it would. For example if you have an air leak at the pot (basket), you would see air bubbles coming out of the jets.

@@beckhamsfamilyjourney So somewhere there is air entering your system. Could be from a tiny crack somewhere, could be from a twisted or torn gasket. If you think it is coming from the pot, remove the gasket, clean all of the mating surfaces, and use a gasket lubricant so you can get good contact to at least eliminate that connection as a possible cause.

Your video is helpful- however, below it I sawThe e-book entitled "7 Repairs my Mother Can Do": Wow, is that offensive and really sexist! What if she's an architect, welds, and furniture designer, plumber or electrician? I do all of those things myself... I teach drafting and architecture courses in college too. I've done framing and built many computers, do maintenance and repairs on my cars, repair major appliances, (including pool equipment, which is very pretty to repair!) Fortunately, I was always encouraged to do these things from the important men in my life, as well as male friends; I come from a long line of master mechanics on both sides of my family, so it's probably a genetic "gift" I inherited. :) Gender is not a pre-requisite to beng mechanical or techy. (Genetics and being raised in a non-sexist culture that encourages people to do what they enjoy and are naturally good at, regardless of gender stereo-types, is what really determines this! ) Shame on you for promoting this sexist language. Please rethink posting this ebook! Thank you.

Hey, I just came here to learn how to replace my pressure gauge, but...thanks for posting, Suzanne - I agree with you...three years later! As a male, I think that it's important for both men and women to call these kinds of things out, large or small - misogyny will only continue if no one says anything. I mean, it's been the shame of the world for how many thousands of years? Speaking of shame, calling a woman a 'Karen' is also sexist and shaming, but don't let that stop you. Keep hitting 'em. Sky is blue, water is wet, and men who have to do this have a 'size' problem. Everything that they say comes from that deficit. Have I now sufficiently mansplained that to everyone? Never mind, I'm going to make my spouse a sammich.
