My inground pool's PSI reading stays the same even when my pump and filter are turned off. Shouldn't the filter's gauge be zero when it's off?
thanks for the help.

It probably should read zero or at least something different than when the pump is running. Most of the gauges used on pool filters tend to be inexpensive and don't always last as long as we think they should. $10 or so should get you a new one.
Yep, as gordiec said, you need a new gauge. Lots of folks remove the gauge and store it inside for the winter.

give the gauge a good "flick" while the filter is on, then turn off the filter.. should drop to zero
If not, buy another

Well, I'll be darned if "flicking the gauge" didn't work! I went out and flicked it, and sure enough, the gauge dropped to zero. I had ordered a replacement gauge and will replace the one I have, but thanks for a great tip and solution!
