What is the main application of a pressure gauge in a treatment facility?

The primary role of a pressure gauge in a treatment facility is to monitor water or wastewater pressure within the system. Maintaining appropriate pressure levels is crucial for the operation of various equipment, such as pumps and filters, and to ensure the effective flow of fluids through the system. Monitoring this pressure allows operators to detect any issues such as blockages, leaks, or pump failures, which could affect system performance and efficiency.

While temperature measurement, pH level checks, and chemical feed control are vital aspects of wastewater treatment processes, they are not the primary function of a pressure gauge. Each of these other parameters would typically be monitored using specialized instruments designed for those specific measurements.
