    10,000 gallon IG vinyl liner pool, BBB user, salt added to 2300 ppm (because it makes the water feel great!), new liner/new water on 6/23/11, algae-free since 2006 (at least that's as far back as I remember). 1HP Hayward 2-SPEED CONVERTED Superpump, Hayward sand filter, PS234 test kit.
    Goal: To remain completely algae-free for the life of this new liner!
    Life lesson: It is what it is.

    How about: get a new gauge every year?

    well after more inspection of the pump housing I have found a crack. I welded it up and am hoping tonite when i reinstall pump that the problem is solved. I think the crack may have been sucking air and this may have been causing my probs. thanks so much for the insight great site. Unfortunately I'm sure i will have more ?s later thanks again

    These are:
    WIKA Industrial Pressure Gauge with Stainless Steel 304 Case and Stainless Steel 316L Wetted Parts
    As long as you don't let them freeze with water inside, these will last indefinitely. They are also much more accurate than typical pool gauges. I'll try to get back to this thread and post specific gauge recommendations out of that list.
