Any saltwater safe pressure guages?

Want to monitor pressure from my return pump as ill be hooking up a uv with max 30psi and an eductor on the end. All ive found are brass.

Thanks that looks nice for a flow rate i may consider it. However that doesnt tell me pressure does it?

Yea it definitely is for flow, I’ve never seen anyone use a pressure meter with the UV so I thought maybe you may have meant flow and posted that guy as a possibility. Best of luck

What pump are you using? There are not many reef pumps that are capable of that much pressure.

Or you could plumb it in so that the flow restriction is on the input of the UV, and open on the outlet.
This way the reactor is never pressurized at all.;)

Look here. It can be done but would be expensive

Gauge guards separate the gauge from the process fluid with a diaphragm or there are stainless gauges here.

I was planning on a pan world 200ps or iwaki 100 rlt with eductors on the end.

That might have to happen. I just wanted to mimimize plumbing.

Neither of those will get close to the 30 psi max of your UV.

Looked those pumps up around 17 psi max.

Thank you
