Thank you. Looks like a fun project. I will do it myself so the only mistakes are mine!!!

I am house sitting for someone and their pool is not right. They have a pool guy so they think all is fine. It appears that the pump is running, but there is no water in the pump and there is no motion in the pool. However, there is water leaking out of the filter and the pressure gauge is...
