Doiron's Pool Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi Folks, I did change my sand on my Jazuci Model #192 pool pump. However it seems to run at good pressure for an hour then to a lower pressure. After a quick backwash it goes back up to a great pressure again. My guage is reading around 20, but I don't think its working properly. I will buy a new one tomorrow. Any suggestions or thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you suspect the gauge is faulty, replacing it is a good first move. When the pump is off it should read zero (0) PSI (or bar). How long ago did you change the sand? In another thread you spoke of having a green pool. If you're fighting algae you may need to backwash frequently. But don't backwash too frequently; wait for 8 or 10 lbs of pressure increase as determined by the gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
