Common Problem
Low Filter Pressure? Common Causes and Next Steps
Low pressure often indicates the pump is not moving water — a suction-side leak, blocked skimmer, or worn impeller.
Most likely causes
- Clogged skimmer
- Air leak
- Worn impeller
- Bad pressure gauge
What to do now
Check baskets and prime, then verify the gauge. If pressure stays low with clean baskets, consider scheduling diagnostics.
