I'm thinking of fixing it with putty, what do you guys think?

Pretty sure i found the culprit. I dug up under the skimmer, there is a crack on the bottom 90 degree elbow of the skimmer that connects to the pipe.. It seems to be all one piece, it was last replaced around 20 years ago. Now, I have to buy a new skimmer housing. Amazon has one...

It is on filter, and now it shows 1-2 psi.

I see water flowing strong in the pump housing, have water coming out of the bleeder valve when I open it, but 3 gauges show 0 psi.

I used a net to take out the leaves, there was not a 1/2 bucket total. I have replaced my gauge 3 times thinking it was faulty, since it was showing 0 pressure. I Don't see any water, or air leak, replaced the pump housing as I had a new spare, checked all the drain plugs, pipe fittings...

Thanks for all of your help. I will take out as much leaves as possible with a net, followed bu vacum.

3/4 way to the top.

Yes, that's what mine looks like. I'm also ordering the FAS-DPD chlorine test kit. In the mean time, I will take my water sample to the store, and see how their results are different from mine, what mistakes I may have made.

Thanks, I was ready to drain all the water. But the pool store guy said, "oh don't do that, if you can get water to circulate you can kill of the algae." Should I drain it all then? Surely there is rotten leaves at the bottom.
