Ok, so I am a pool novice. A little background, I am in NC and pretty much all winter didn't clean the filter or mess with the pool much. A few days ago I noticed the pressure gauge was reading zero. My pool is pretty dirty and the skimmers were full.
Today I turned off the pump. Cleaned the skimmers. I have a 4 cartridge Jandy filter. I opened that and cleaned all 4 filters thoroughly. After finishing and turning the system back on, I initially got a little air escape from the pressure release of the pressure guage. I usually leave that open until all air is out and water comes out of the pressure release valve. Anyhow, after a little air releases, nothing else comes out. I put my thumb on the valve and can't even feel any pressure. The gauge, when valve closed, continues to read zero.
Water is flowing and pump is on. Water is also coming back into the pool, few minimum bubbles.
I completely took off the pressure release valve and turned on the pumps and water does not shoot up out of the pump.
At first I thought I had a faulty gauge but now I am thinking it is another issue. Pumps working fine, skimmers with good flow, and water feeding back to pool fine.
I have a 40,000 gallon pool I believe. It is a salt water aquapure system (aqualink rs) with Jandy cartridge filter Model CL580.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
