If your pressure on your filter is low then check to see if your basket has crack and letting debris get past. This will clog the impeller and slow down the water flow. If you have good return in the pool then you are getting a good return through your pump. If you can see that the pump basket area (trap) is full of water or in this case full prime than you are OK. If you have half or 1/4 full in this area then the impeller or you have air coming into the pump.
