Low Pressure

I have a sand filter. Pressure used to be around 10psi (up to 20psi before backwash.)

The pressure is now always around 4 psi.

The water is still flowing in the pool.

I've checked the forum for similar problems, followed their advices, and still have the problem:

- it's not a clogged impeller (cleaned it)

- no (visible) clogs in the pipes

- no air leak (no air bubbles in the pool)

- changed the spider gasket

I tried to open the little valve on top of the sand filter (the one that's on the gauge), and almost no water is coming out: just a few drops.

Could it be a malfunction of the gauge (clogged)? Need to change the sand?

What can I do to find out where the problem is coming from?

Thanks

K.
