Gang,
I noticed I was not getting a reading from my water pressure gauge. It is plumbed in right by my Headhunter pump.
Then, I noticed that there is a liquid (water?) inside the gauge.
Two questions: 1) Is this liquid normal for our application? and 2) can anyone provide a source for this gauge? I looked online and it seems as if lots of gauges are made with glycerin inside the gauge.
The pump is operating normally and I get water so it is probably a bad gauge...but wanted to learn something in the process of replacing.
Cheers,
bill
