Having issues With Water Circulation

Hello,

Up until recently I have had no issues with water circulation in my pool, but then i had someone come visit who just so decided to toggle with some of the valves on the system. Since then, my pool has only had a flow of water going out of one head in the pool and that would be the one where the step is in the deep end. This issue is allowing my pool to become dirtier than I want and I don't know what I need to fix the issue. I have taken photos of my system and will add them below so that hopefully someone can help me with an easy fix.

If you have any more questions please ask. Thank you for your time and I hope you can help me solve the problem.
 
Mays86,

Welcome!

For me, those close up shots, are kinda hard to figure out. (It's like trying to tell what you look like by looking at one tooth or one eyebrow at a time.)

I think we'd see better what we're looking at, and what the valves do, if you could move away the buckets and toys, everything that's not attached, etc. and take one or two general photos of all the piping and valves, and the pump, and the filter together. Could that happen, with decent lighting, at any time of the day?

We want to help.

Wow, that is pretty high and may explain the low flow rate. What is the VS RPM setting for that pressure?

Also, I think you have the incorrect gauge setting for clean. The pump will never reach 50 PSI. Try back washing the filter and see where the pressure is at that point. Then set the dial so it is on top of the clean pressure. (green on top of black)

I will try and do so and the lighting would only be right later in the day. There are bushes right next to where the buckets are so it may still be a bit cramped, but I will see what I can do.

I will take a picture of the reading and post as well as backwash and take a picture after that point.
