Filter blew it's top off

A system like yours should produce about 9-14 psi on high speed, clean filter.

If the new gauge doesn't indicate that, there is VERY likely some blockage on the pressure side. I suppose it is possible that, when new, eyeballs that were too small were put on the returns.

Nothing has changed since 2015, until now. Filter pressure has always been 20psi after backwashing. Backwashing has always been done around 26psi. Not sure what you mean by 'eyeballs', but entire system, meaning pool, all attached pumps, filter, manifold, and valves have been functioning perfectly since 2015. So, I am going to have to look at possibly deep cleaning the filter after the new guage is installed, to see if that makes a difference.
 
Thanks, I should have figured out the eyeballs, but.....
They have not been touched in 5 years, all has been stable for 5 years.
