I am a complete amateur when it comes to this, I only learnt last night how to release water from the pool (in "Waste" mode) when we had heavy rainfall, I recent moved into a house with a smallish inground pool.
Here is the issue - When I turn on my pool pump the RetroChlor shows that it is running in "Reverse" for a short time and the ksi reading on the gauge goes to 10 which is normal and I see the jets start to pump water in the pool, it is all quite loud in the pump room. Then about 1 minute later it starts it in "Forward" and the ksi reading goes to zero (pic attached), everything quietens down. I can still see and feel the jets are pumping water, there are small bubbles coming from where the jets are pumping water in the pool, but nothing concerning, and both filter baskets have been cleaned/cleared, and are filled with water (no bubbles in there). I can also see water flow happening between pump filter, chlorinator etc.
I am a little bit perplexed. Both filter baskets are good and clean/cleared, the jets are pumping water so I would have thought it is a gauge issue, but when the pump runs in reverse the gauge is showing a reading, just not in forward.
Any ideas? Happy to post more pics or vids if needed.
