    Gauge pressure slowly decreased to 0 (new pump & filter)

    The replacement pressure gauge from Hayward came this weekend and that was the issue. It looks like the old gauge had a leak and was filled with water. Anyways, thanks everyone for the help and suggestions!

    Gauge pressure slowly decreased to 0 (new pump & filter)

    I vacuumed tonight with no issues (great suction), cleaned cartridge but still 0. Hayward got back to me already and is going to send me a new gauge for free, so hopefully that is the issue.

    Gauge pressure slowly decreased to 0 (new pump & filter)

    Thanks, I shot the company an email too, I really don't want to flip the bill myself for a new gauge on a new filter if that's the case. :) These original gauges are expensive ($25) for this thing. Not sure if there are good, cheaper generics. The water is doing o.k., it was green before last...

    Pool cover pump to drain water from pool too?

    Pool pressure shows 0 psi on pump "low speed"

    Hello, I just realized today that the pool pump (that came with my new house) is a two speed (just turn the switch the other way). However, when I turned the switch to the low speed I get 0 psi on the filter (normally 14 psi on high speed). This is a 75 sqft cartridge system, some 14 year old...

    Newer pool owner, help with proper chlorination

    Hello, I just bought a house with an above ground pool and first time pool owner. With the help of my neighbor and Leslie's I got all of the chemicals balanced and in good shape with the exception of some debris/dirt on the bottom of the pool which I have been vacuuming for the past two days...
