What causes no pressure in pool filter?
It could be a clogged pump basket, clogged impeller, clogged pipe or clogged skimmer. It could also be a closed or broken valve before the pump. Or, the pump may have an air leak, and is drawing in more air than water, which will also reduce the filter pressure (and filtration).
What to do if your water pump pressure switch is wrong?
Incorrect air pressure in an internal-bladder type pressure tank: check and correct the tank pre-charge pressure, set it to 2 psi below the switch cut-in pressure. Switch exposed to vibration, for example from a pump or due to poorly-secured piping. Isolate the pressure switch by using vibration-isolation mounts (available from plumbing suppliers).
Why does my well water pump not turn off?
Check your water supply from the well, along with any leaks which could be affecting your pressure cut-off. If the well water pump isn’t creating the appropriate pressure, it won’t signal your pressure switch to turn off and on.
Why does my water pump keep clicking on and off?
It’s the pump switching on and off as pressure falls and rises. Watch out: If the clicking pressure switch is switching the pump on and off very rapidly, say every second, TURN THE PUMP CIRCUIT OFF immediately to avoid damaging the equipment.
What causes high pressure in a pool pump?
Replacing a 1.0 HP motor with a 1.5HP motor runs the risk of your pump is too large for your pipes and your filter. If the pipes and filter cannot handle the greater water flow, pressure builds up after the pump. When the pump shuts off, the pressure surges back through the pump, the suction pipes, and back into the pool.
What should my filter pressure be when the pump is off?
My pressure gauge is new and goes to 0 (zero) when the pump is off. Based upon your equipment/setup, 14 PSI is reasonable and about where it should be. Thought I would re-start this thread instead of a new one, but my question is similar in a way.

Why does my well pump keep tripping when I Turn on the water?
Continuous tripping could be caused by a broken wire leading to or inside the water pump. Check the well tank pressure gauge to see if it is at least 40 PSI (or the cut-off PSI for your pressure switch model). If it isn’t, make sure your filter isn’t clogged or in need of a change.
What happens when you turn off the pool pump?
Over time, the back pressure builds up to the point that it significantly reduces water flow through the filter and out to the pool. Once the pump is off, the pressure surges back through the pump and skimmer. Bubbles and splashing in the pump basket are early signs that you might have a suction air leak.
