During normal operation, should there be some water in the bottom of the gauge?

In mine, sometimes there is a little condensation on the inside but it's never enough to pool at the bottom of the gauge.

No there should not be water. It is possible that the glass is allow rain water to get inside.

After about a year of operation on my filter I noticed some water at the bottom of the gauge...pulled it out...shook the water out...after awhile it returned...shortly later the gauge stopped working altogether (would not register...just stayed at 0)....so I would say, from my experience at least, water in the gauge is a sign that the gauge is getting ready to die.

Mine is the same way, it's about a 1/4 full and says water is low. Not a biggie to me, but is still frustrating at times.

Gauges like that are standardized at a pressure reading at room temperature. Trying to get a temperature from the hot water tank will guarantee inaccurate readings.

It could be an issue with the float that indicates whether or not the unit is full. Honestly the float system is pretty cheap, but working on that might fix your problem.

use amp probe, see how much current is being used, and check valve to see if any debris is inside

humm....in my installation NOT much because discharge is above floating line, but only drain back to the pump, the remaining water in the hose (about half quarter o so)....but if where the below floating line you may consider to install a check valve.....hope answer your question.

its normal for it to have a thin layer of water on the bottom when its done...if it has more than that then empty and clean the metal part on the bottom with a qtip...rubbing alcohol works well... barely dip the qtip in the alcohol and wipe the metal part with it...hope this helps...

Like most other pressure gauges that are part of the air compressor,they seem to read high until you turn the compressor off and wait until it "settles".Then the reading is accurate.Just go a few lbs. over,shut it off,wait a bit and look at the gauge.If you over fill,it's just a matter of letting some air out.No big deal.It's a super good compressor.

If this was an issue, wouldn't the manufacturer have taken all that into consideration when testing the product? To me using common sense care would go along way to protecting from moisture. Such as the angles at which the probes are placed inside and method of cleaning.

There should not be moving part inside other than the needle indicator on the gauge. You may be able to see inside through the vents.

I wouldn't try to force high pressure water into the unit but I think the volume of air in the little hose will keep the water from going into the gage. It should still read however.

When using mine I fill it just so it does not touch the bottom of the insert pan. If I use it for a long time I check to see if it needs additional water.

A couple of things come to mind. Is the panel dirty and need to be wiped? The pump may be working but the intake could be clogged and needs to be cleaned out? Is the pump submersed fully? I found my pump not working (but I can't see mine) because it was above the water line, adding water solved it.

You have to be able to lift up on the tank for the gauge to be able to determine how full it is. So, if you leave it connected, the connection would have to be loose so it wouldn't hinder the measurement.

Make sure it's nice and tight and that you have the water pressure at the appropriate level. I've used it a few times now and it's worked to an acceptable level.

Mine is at the same level you might have a clog somewhere that is causing less waterflow to the rear try rinsing your bottom spong with aquarium water. or check your pumps flow rate might be too high

I make sure the screen is fully submerged before I turn it on. I never used it when the screen wasn't fully submerged.
