My scubapro pressure guage has filled with water under the glass and no longer functions - obviously has a leak. Has anyone experienced this - is this common? Just curious if i should consider another brand.

It sounds as if you may have blown out one of the 003 O-rings on either end of the spool. I recently flooded an OMS gauge for this reason. I placed the - wet - gauge in a jar with some uncooked white rice, which dried it out pretty well. Even with the O-rings replaced and lubed, though, the gauge still fogged up. It was new enough that I was able to swap it out for a new one.
