We stored the filter/pump in the garage for the winter (Michigan) - do you think the gauge is bad? Any way to test?

The filter is less than one year old - do the gauges go bad that quickly? Is there any way to test the gauge itself? The only other thing different from last year is we installed a new heat pump, but as I said - the return pressure seams normal (like before the heat pump was in place)... Thanks!

Ok, thanks very much for your help - the kids will be glad to hear they can jump in :cheers: I'll go ahead and order the TF100 and check out all the links mentioned above, and dive into the pool school as well. Here are some quick pics of the install...
