Uses

Monitoring Pump Output Pressure

• Ensures water is being delivered at the correct pressure.
• Helps prevent overpressure that can damage pipes, sprinklers, or drip lines.

Maintaining Consistent Flow

• Assists in adjusting valves or filters to maintain steady water pressure throughout the system.
• Important for uniform water distribution in drip or sprinkler irrigation.

Protecting Equipment

• Prevents damage to filters, emitters, or backflow preventers by providing a visual indicator of pressure.
• Used with pressure regulators to verify they’re functioning correctly.

Leak Detection

• A drop in pressure could indicate a leak or blockage somewhere in the system.

System Diagnostics

• Useful during system setup and maintenance to identify pressure losses or inefficiencies.
