I use the meter for measuring tire air pressure. The scale of the meter is great to give good PSI resolution. Tire pressures range between 35 and to 15 psi and this meter is just right for that while allowing higher pressures to be read up to 60 psi. When installed onto to a portable compressor and when the compressor is turned on, the needle will bounce rapidly and when the compressor is turned off the needle instantly steadies at the accurate static psi. The housing is metal and the meter is perfectly adequate for accuracy and apparent ruggedness for my air pressure application
This works great and great price. Got this to replace a defective gauge on an RV pressure regulator at a fraction of the cost to replace the regulator.
Used it all season with no problems (installed in April 2017) - very consistent readings. My gauge mounts on the side of my valve. To help keep water out, I installed the gauge so the face tilts slightly down toward the ground (maybe this is the trick to longer life?) I will plan on re-using it next season. Even if I replace it every year, it's still a good value if it only makes it one season IMO.
Working great to confirm that the Pressure Reducer in my patio watering system is going from 60 (mains) to 30 PSI, not to mention as a confirmation that the solenoid valve is operational. Needed to hunt around for some PVC pipe parts to keep it sitting upright and visible inline, but that's all part of the challenge of the DIY gang!.
I bought this to replace a Pentair one that was not waterproof. The Pentair replacement costs 37.50 here at Amazon (sta-rite prc75 pressure gauge) and does not appear to be any better than this one. This one is working fine.
I've had this for several months now and am perfectly happy with it. I'm especially happy that it cost less than half of the name brand equivalents. I took the cover off this and compared it to my old Hayward gauge. It is nearly identical inside. Some have complained of moisture collecting inside the dial. This is because none of these gauges are sealed at the bottom - including the Hayward. If you mount it upright on your filter, it is not a problem. But if you side mount it on the multiport, yeah, over time they all collect some moisture and other gunk. When I took the cover off the Hayward, it was filled with cobwebs and dirt. After cleaning it out, the old Hayward worked fine again. Both the new and the old gave the same correct pressure readings. So while you may not need a new gauge, you will probably want one to confirm the pressure is reading correctly after cleaning. And at this low price, it's probably not worth the effort to clean the old one.
Bought this for our OLD s244t Hayward filter. Gutted and replaced all components. Our old guage was broken anyway. Wasn't expecting this to last very long based on other reviews. That is okay with us... we really only needed it after all the repairs we made to make sure we were getting the right psi. Served its purpose so we won't be terribly upset if it stops working now. So far has lasted the entire season.

Can be used for air pressure measurement and very accurate and rugged. Should last a long time.

Worked great
Replaced an old faulty gauge on the pool diverter. Worked great. Remember to get some plumbers tape.

Great to replace defective gauge.

Perfect replacement
Had to replace the original pressure gauge on my Pentair filter due to it being faulty. This one works great and was easy to install.

Perfect solution to provide status for my home-brew watering system.

Working!
Appears to be working as expected for a plastic gauge. My prior one, (not the same brand) only lasted 6 months, I hope this one lasts longer.

Excellent replacement for OEM's gauge.

As good as the name brand equivalents at less than half the price
