My gauge has frozen again. Can anyone suggest a gauge that will not freeze? It is exposed.

Do you mean it froze or the needle is stuck?

You could try using an oil filled gauge you may find it lasts longer but you will pay more for the gauge. You can find them on the internet by doing a word search.

Any pressure gauge will freeze. The next thing to freeze is the little nipple going to your pressure switch. This can burn up your pump. A good heated well house is better idea than trying to find a pressure switch that won't freeze.
