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.

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.

I picked up Cy acid, can i add some anyway since my test showed none? And after all the bags of white powder, I still don't have enough chlorine.

Aargh, so I bought the wrong kit? What is different, or missing?

Jason, Thanks for your reply. The kit I bought is Chlorine FAS-DPD Service Test Kit 81330 from Leslie's local store. Jay
