    My RO/DI maxicap 90 is making water. My booster pump is working. All seems normal and good. Issue is the gauge doesn't work.

    How do you know if the gauge is working or not?

    Should be at 60 psi.

    Personally in this "application" I would think most gauges are equal, meaning the cheaper gauges are just fine... Now if you were scuba diving, or something more critical I think a better gauge would be more important..

    They are not but Kajung pretty well summed it up. ☺
    I know they aren't too expensive but Spectrapure may send you one for free if you contact them. Depending on the age of course

    It is also possible that something is just stuck in it.☺

    If you have an air compressor try blowing some error through it and see if something dislodges or maybe it'll resolve itself.

    I should have said not all gauges are the same but for this application it should not matter if you buy an inexpensive one.

    And spectra pure might send you one like vinny said or maybe offer you a discount.
