Hi There,
We are suffering with No Pressure being shown on the Pressure Gauge, fitted on top of the sand filter.

We have replaced the Pump, Valves (Skimmer/Vac/Sump & Multi-Port Valve), changed the sand in the filter, we have also replaced the Pressure gauge. (if you blow into the Gauge the needle on the pressure gauge moves) :mad:

When running the pool with the Multi port Valve to "Filter" there is no pressure being registered on the gauge, however there is water being pumped into the pool via the "return".
Also when running like this and you are drawing the water into the Pump with either Skimmer or Sump valve open you see air bubbles coming from the bottom of the Sand Filter.
When you open the "bleed valve" the water in the Clear Dome on top of the Sand Filter, does not bleed air it falls even further below the crown of the sand filter

Do you have any ideas as to why this is happening ? :confused:

Hi,
Ok can you just tell me one thing, have you got the pipe from the top of the pump going into the multiport on the female thread that says PUMP?!!! :confused:
