skos Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Is this normal. In Spa mode only I'm pulling 20 psi. When I put pool and spa I'm pulling 30 psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 30 psi at the filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDspaguy Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 It's not surprising. When in spa mode your pump has only the spa suctions to pull from which could restrict flow causing the psi to be lower. I would be a bit concerned that the pump is too much for the plumbing and could be damaged by the lack of sufficient suction flow. It is possible that there is some obstruction blocking the spa suction, perhaps a clogged skimmer or drain cover. What is the pressure in pool only?
