My cartridge filter pressure runs at 10psi when clean. I noticed it was at 14psi this morning so I cleaned out the skimmer sock and pump basket. When I turned the pump on and bled the air it went back to 14psi. I tried bleeding the air again this time longer (10 seconds or so) and it dropped to 10psi. Just to test things out I turned the pump speed up for a minute or two and then back to its normal speed and the gauge read 14psi again. I opened the bleeder valve again even though the air should be out and after 10 seconds or so it dropped to 10psi.

Is there something up with the pressure gauge? I’ve had the pool open for a month and cleaned my cartridges beforehand so I don’t think they’re that dirty yet.

Thoughts?
 
Just bought this gauge and it appears to have an air bubble in it. Is this normal?
Yes. An air bubble at the top is normal as long as the glycerin covers the pointer.
