    Leaky Water Tank Pressure Gauge
    I have well water and my water tank pressure gauge has a small leak. What are the steps that I need to take to safely replace it? Also can I purchase the new pressure gauge at a Home Depot or Lowe's?

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Yes to Lowe's and HD. Get a new gauge and hope that it isn't the threads in the tank. Give the gauge three wraps of teflon tape and you're good to go.
