Morning,

Anyone using a regin u gauge, the top quality one that uses blue liquid?

I'm thinking of getting myself one but they are about 70 quid.

Any thoughts?
Thanks
 
No.
I bought an HSG Guage (single tube type) about 20 years ago that I found out had potentially carcinogenic blue liquid in it.
I have a few others too

But:-
I use one of these for most things

What benefit will the blue one give?
 
It's the answer to more than vision problems is Vimto.
For example, a hot Vimto on a winters day is nice. Or hot c-vit.
Or hot ribena.

When was the last time you had a hot one Harvest?

What about OXO ?
Anyone like an OXO with white pepper in?

More of a Bovril man myself. But the wife loves a hot Ribena.
 
Getting back on the blue liquid. I don't know if it is the same stuff but the blue hsg fluid in the gauge I have is very expensive.
The gauge was over ÂŁ80 20 years back and I am sure the fluid was very very expensive too.
It's another reason I don't use it. I was always bothered about damaging it.
 
Cracking gauges mate , love mine , never use anyliser.

As for the liquid .... we tend to compare liquid in gallons i.e . Petrol , diesel , beer , milk etc etc , that blue liquid if my maths is correct works out a out 8/9 k a gallon , wow ! ( my maths aint good I may add )
 
Bottle of the liquid that fills the gauge is around a tenner
So you have the blue gauge!
What possessed you to buy it?
Was it the colour?
The quality?
That it makes you look like a Dr?


Is it High specific gravity (hsg) fluid or just a coloured fluid?

Can it freeze?

Sorry about this, I have spotted them before and like the idea but the price put me off.
 
You get what you pay for, personally my regin has proved faultless & i have only had to refill fluid twice in 5yrs.

Once the meter regulator was knackered & blew it straight out the top before i could switch valve off & second time was when i didn't put the plugging piece back in and it was lying in the gas toolbox on it's side & leaked out.

Still got spare bottle of the fluid which is a specific gravity fluid specially calibrated for the regin manometer.

Would not use anything else,

Cheers,

Andy

Defo never frozen , at 8K a gallon for the blue stuff
it better not . Incredibly easy to read , steel construction, streets ahead of the plastic.
If it got nict tomorrow I would go buy another one in a breath.

Crikey maud, it must be good.

I heard that’s how copper wire was invented.
Two Yorkshire men fighting over a penny.
 
I had the region one and loved it. Got it for free from merchants when I'd put a big order in. Fluid was about 12 quid but only had to replace twice in 8/9 years. I list mind just before Xmas and am back to a monument ÂŁ15 one, it breaks my heart every time I have to a tightness test:(:(:(
 
Get it I have itand the fluid never gets cloudy and never loses fluid. Pay what you get! Plus it looks good

Hi, I have an unvented water heater which for some reason every year causes me issues. At the end of 2023 I noticed that the pressure valve gauge was going up when the water tank was switched on. My local plumber came and re-pressured the expansion vessel as it was flat, afterwards we tested...
