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.
