When using the FW tank the pump can be turned off when not in use. Good idea and easier than going out and turning city water supply off.
I am one who has drank the "kool aid" and gone with the Watts 263A with oil filled meter. One of the best improvements we have made.
I still turn the city water supply off when we leave the campsite for the day.
One time our cat turned on the bathroom faucet accidentally while hooked up to the spigot. Could have been a disaster if we weren't there and turned it off. We have a sign over the door that says "WATER OFF!" to remember to switch off the pump when we leave.
When we got our Watts I don't remember the choice of an oil filled gauge. Ours came with a regular gauge and it did freeze up and break one winter. Got a new gauge - set the pressure - removed the gauge and installed a plug.
