You get 100-140 psi from the city or some other unit?

Ive never seen more then 60psi from the city. Do you have a booster installed?

No booster, I’m thinking my gauge may be bad. Although it is playing havoc with my Hydro minders

If your water pressure is 100 - 140 psi you need to put a regulator on the incoming water supply. The best operating water for a hydrominder is around 40psi, the max pressure is 85psi.

Yeah, at 140 PSI you're going to have blown diaphragms and trouble with them not opening.
