Little late to opening the pool this season, turned the pump on - runs fine no bubbles or air.. when it gets to the filter it’s at 0 psi and no return jets are working... help what’s going on?!? 1 regular skimmer and the second is a Venturi.. 3 return jets, returns in the spa are working. Please help!
Help! No suction from skimmer or flow from jets.

Check the skimmers for any plugs.
Also check the valve settings to make sure they are all open.

Gettng a description and oics of your filter, pump, valves and equipment setup would let us help you more.
Right now it is just a guessing game.
My guess is a broken filter pressure gauge and valve in the wrong position considering you have flow out of your spa returns.

Your pool lines have nice silver labels on them but I can't read any of them.
See your annotated pics below. You have two valves that close off what I have labeled as 1 & 2 of your skimmer lines and two of your return lines labeled 5 & 6. Both those valves look like they are motorized Jandy valves controlled by your automation. I circled those two valves in the last pic.
Closer pics of those valves and the various labels may be helpful.
Is your automation in SPA mode?
I still think your filter pressure gauge is broken and needs to be replaced. Pressure Gauge Glycerin filled 2.5 Bottom Mount

When the spa jets are working, does the pressure gauge read any PSI? If not the gauge is bad. Tap the gauge and see if the needle moves.
If you want to run in pool mode, you need to change the valve actuators to pool mode via the controller.
