    Default Waterco CC100 ideal pressure

    Hi, I have a Waterco CC100 filter.

    The sticker on the outside of the filter says pressure should not exceed 350 kPa.

    My pressure reading is quite low, around 20 kPa.

    Is my pressure too low? What is the ideal value?

    thanks,
    Peter

    There is no such thing as an ideal pressure. There are too many variables. But generally, lower pressure is better because it can mean that there is low return head loss. But it can also mean that there is high suction head loss. It all depends on the rest of your equipment.
