If you are getting water, there is probably something blocking the pipe to the pressure gauge.

Lots of times the opening where the gauge screws in is completely covered over with Sulphur. You will have to tap a screw driver or like device through the hole to open it. Then the gauge should work. Be sure the pressure is all out of the system before trying this.
