Liquid inside Cressi pressure gauge?

[aerochad]

my Cressi pressure gauge has liquid inside of it along with a big bubble (a little bit bigger than a quarter) I am not sure if it is water or oil? Does anyone know what it is? Am i supposed to have liquid inside of it at all? I cant find any info on it anywhere including their website. The gauge seems to work fine, but it is just annoying to see that huge bubble in the gauge. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.

im not so sure. i have seen the entire cressi line up and havent seen anything like that. there are however some gauges filled with oil and have those annoying bubbles you described.

Very few psi gauges had oil. (You should be able to tell, as oil is thick and moves much slower than water.)

It's very likely your gauge has leaked at the plug on the back or has a crack in the housing, usually around the hose fitting. If so it will likely continue to work until it has time to rust internally. I would not recommend continuing to use it for long, as rusted gauges start to stick.

I like the brass housing gauges that are hard to find these days.
