EPG On-Demand Webinars
This Months On-Demand Webinar
Length: 11:40
This webinar covers some of EPG's optional gauges and controls to monitor pump system health. We discuss utilizing level and flow sensors, elapsed time meters, cycle counters, and pressure gauges.
Product Highlight
Pressure Gauges can be used to monitor and verify pump health. Normal pressure and flow is determined by a pumps performance curves and should be referred to when diagnosing flow issues. A pressure gauge is most effective when used in conjunction with a flow meter.
What can a Pressure Gauge tell you?

  • Low Pressure / Low Flow may indicate:
  • A worn pump
  • Starved suction - little or no liquid
  • Dry running

  • High Pressure / Low Flow may indicate:
  • A plugged pipe
Pressure Gauge Example
A pressure gauge reads the system pressure at the point where the gauge is at in the system. It is not reading pump discharge pressure unless it is mounted directly at the pump discharge.
