Is it worth it to buy the model with the pressure gauge?

I wouldn't imagine so. I have the model without the gauge and proper pressure is easy to assess with the simple light mechanism. Great machine, by the way!

I've had two of these over the years, and neither one had the pressure gauge. Just wait for the light to go out, and it's ready to brew.

No. The pressure is regulated by the escape valve, regardless of the presence of the gauge. So no need to worry. Just let the machine heat up and you'll be okay.

The compressor will be close enough to you...that you will be able to read the gauge on it. Enjoy it !

It does come with a pressure gauge, My understanding is this model does replace most models. Too be sure contact Hayward or try inyour pool.com they help me a lot.

I tried to buy a pressure sensor gauge my local store. It didn't work. I bought one from Amazon and it works pretty good. I would go to a dealer and find out exactly what you need.

I've had one for about four years. It's very loud but has worked fine. The pressure gauge is off by five PSIs but once you inflate the tires and check it with a better gauge, you'll know when to stop inflating by adjusting for the difference. I have to replace it now as the air hose is cracked. I would not recommend cramming the hose into the storage space.

No, I've had no issues with my gauge. In fact, it's the best one I 've ever used.

No. Mine has pressure reading off 2-3 PSI. Since I know this I just adjust accordingly.

Yes the unit is adjustable, but there is no gauge to let you know the exact pressure you've set it at.

Yes I have used it quite a bit since purchasing it. Outstanding quality, and accurate. The only issue with it at all is sometimes it is hard to see the dial where the psi is displayed and part of that may be my eyesight is not as good as it use to be. The window where this is displayed is magnified so if it was a little bit more so it would be better! It allows you to put air in your tire while monitor the pressure as you do. Makes adding air to a tire so much more quickly while maintaining and reading the dial when you let off the valve to pump up the tire. Hope this helps.

No, I don't think it came with either. We ordered a new pressure gauge with it also from Amazon, and used the old sight glass. It worked very well, no problems at all, easy to install to replace the leaky one.

I have not. Without comparing to a calibrated gauge, you won't know which has gauge is actually the accurate one. What I like about this gauge is that it gives me percise consistent results.. Hard to tell how accurate they are however like I mentioned.

Aside from exsisting pump motor, proper plumbing/electricity hook-ups and a pressure gauge you should be "good to go".Hopefully it is covered and/or in a pump house. For me,the noted change in water pressure is really appreciated.This tank does a good job...

My answer would be a definite "NO"! You have about 2000 psi pressure on a full tank of Nitrogen. Even if this gauge was used on the regulated side of the regulator, you would still have the potential to exceed the pressure it is designed to indicate and run the risk of injury and death! Many brass fittings and gauge components are designed and specifically made for high pressure applications. Make sure that the gauge and fittings you choose are rated higher than any pressure that you will be working with! Never "cheap out" on parts, tools, material, etc. where safety is an issue!

You can definitely read the pressure gauge while inflating the tire - I actually used it so that I know when to turn it off. I have had mine for quite awhile now and it is still as accurate as using a separate tire gauge.

Yes it will give you more pressure . Do you know they are adjustable . These are good units with low pressure cut off .

I have no experience with high pressure. I just know this is the best hose I've ever bought and it seems like it will last forever.

The pressure gauge on my unit redlines at 144 psi. I doubt very seriously that it will deliver anything close to that.
