Hello folks, it's been a while. The other day I noticed my filter showed zero PSI when I turned it on. I inspected the cartridge and it looked really worn out (I've neglected it over the past 6 months or so). Swapped out for a new cartridge and same thing. A few notes below and any guidance would be appreciated. My neighbor and fellow pool nerd thinks there is a blockage somewhere in the pipes.

-Zero PSI on the gauge
-Light outflow of water out of the jets
-Strainer basket is not filling up all the way (maybe 3/4)
-I've tried various valve configurations with all the same results, main drain on/off, vacuum, and skimmer all on/off.
-There is a light about of water dripping from the filter housing where the top seats (possibly a bad gasket?)
-There has been a lot of debris in the strainer basket lately between pollen strands and loads of bamboo leaves.

Check the impeller in your pump for debris or seeds clogging it.

Can you guide me to a link for instructions? I assume I'm disconnecting the pump from power and opening it up?
 
What model pump are we discussing?

Post pics of your pump.
