Sand Filter not reading any pressure

[pwise79]

Hello! I opened my pool today and my pool filter is reading 0 psi pressure. It is a Hayward sand filter on a 20,000 gallon in ground vinyl pool. All jets are working at full pressure, it seems. skimmer has good suction, nothing else seems out of whack. Emptying skimmer and pump basket regularly. Is it most likely the gauge is faulty? Or is there anything else I should check?

Thanks!

Gauge or you have the multiport valve on recirculate ---

thanks for your reply. The multiport valve is on "filter". I have backwashed successfully and put it back on filter. I don't have a recirculate option on my filter. Is rinse the same as recirculate? I only have filter, backwash, rinse and waste.

Rinse is not the same as recirculate.

Get a new gauge. That makes the most sense.

Hi pwise,
those standard plastic pool gauges go bad way too often. Since you have to replace it, I would suggest a glycerine filled gauge. The thing is very high quality and easy to read, unlike the plastic cheap ones. These are avilable on Amazon, maybe a big box store, but here is a link to the one that I bought. Ive had it 4 years and it still looks new. This thing is bad to the bone! Available in both bottom mount and back mount

Bottom-mounted Pressure Gauge
