So before my pressure on my filter would sit at about 20 psi, now it's pretty much tacking out, as far as it can go. Does this mean i need a new filter? My pool sat through winter and i did not have a cover on it (i live in florida) and i finally got some money to get her up and running (bought bank owned house). The pool was filled with leaves and such that i cleaned out, but there are still small pieces that get through that i notice a lot whenever i clean the filter with a garden hose. Maybe the filter has taken so much abuse i need a new one? Or could it be from my lack of maintenance? What would cause the PSI to go up so high?
