Pros: My pressure gauge needs to be replaced. What are you guys installing and finding to last a reasonable amount of time? Note, my pressure gauge is out in the elements 24/7. Thanks!

Find a good quality liquid filled gauge. I mostly use cheap ones that last anywhere from 2 years to 10+. Water quality seems to play the biggest role.

Get a couple of cheap gauges and a good 1/4 ball valve. Close the ball valve, take the gauge off and put it in a safe place. Next time you need to see the pressure the gauge will still be working. That is the only way to make a gauge last, especially when it is out in the elements.
