I swear by Gage-It in Sellersville, PA. 5 point NIST traceable for about 50 bucks and fast turnaround. The take them apart, clean them, paint the case and make them look like new. You get a certification but if anyone questions, give them the serial number and they can get online. My local guy got swallowed up by a larger fish who in turn got swallowed up and they moved/closed. If you're doing pumps and standpipes, get them done once a year and keep spares. Ashcroft & Permacal are a good quality gauge. Hydro-Flo has MacDaniel which is pretty good too. Not a fan of digitals. TD
