My pump pressure is running high lately even after hosing down the cartridge 3-4 times. It starts at 8 psi and in 20 minutes or so, goes up to 16 psi. I had a lot of algae in it last month as I was out of town for several weeks. I ended up shocking the pool and washing the cartridge, but still, the pressure is running higher than normal. There is another valve next to the pump that leaks water. Not sure if that's the culprit. What are my options?
The blue component (whatever that is) leaks water through the top.
