Pentair 24850-0105 Valve & Gauge Assembly
Part # 24850-0105 — a combined valve and pressure gauge assembly designed for use with select Pentair/Sta-Rite System:3 filter tanks (including SM, SD and SS series). This kit provides accurate pressure monitoring and a manual air release valve to help ensure proper system performance and maintenance access.
Key Features
- Includes a 0–60 psi pressure gauge and a manual air-release valve.
- Designed for direct replacement on compatible System:3 Modular Media (SM series), D.E. (SD series) and Sand (SS series) filter tanks.
- Gasket, adapter bushing and hardware included to simplify installation.
- Manufactured for durability in pool and spa filtration environments.
Typical Applications
Ideal when the existing filter tank’s pressure gauge is cracked, inaccurate, missing or the air-release valve is stuck or leaking. Also suitable when upgrading or servicing your filter head to maintain accurate operation and safety.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Shut off the pump and relieve system pressure completely before servicing. Remove the old gauge and valve assembly from the filter tank lid and clean the mounting area. Install the new assembly, verify gasket seating, tighten per manufacturer torque, and restore system pressure. Check for leaks and confirm the gauge reading resets to zero once the pump is off.
Why Choose This Assembly?
The 24850-0105 assembly ensures you maintain accurate pressure readings, controlled air release and proper function of your filter system—important for safe, efficient operation. It’s a reliable OEM replacement part for service professionals and pool owners.
Maintenance Tips
- Check the pressure gauge monthly; replace if the needle sticks or does not reset to zero when the pump is off.
- Operate the air-release valve periodically to purge trapped air from the filter tank, maintaining efficient filtration.
- Inspect for leaks around the mounting flange; if persistent, replace or reseat the assembly and gasket.
- During winterization or shutdown, ensure the valve is closed and tank is drained to prevent freeze damage or pressure build-up.
