Every pressure gauge is different, and are generally unreliable to accurate to the actual pressure.
Pro Tip: Clean the Grids very well (or install new grids or on a new installation) Have a sharpie or some fingernail polish. Turn on pump.....after few minutes.....mark what this "current" gauge is showing as the "Clean" pressure. Then mark 10 PSI higher. When the pressure reaches the 2nd mark.....that is 10 PSI higher, that is when it is time to clean your Grids.........same procedure if you have a sand or cartridge filter.

How do you know when you need new sand in a Hayward filter for an inground pool?
Depending on the size of the pool and the size of the filter and the amount of times you have to backwash, also if you have had a lot of rain then you may need to backwash more than usual. If you put the pool in and the filter and you know how old the sand is, if you are backwashing more than usual,change the sand. Also before you backwash check the pressure of the water going back into the pool, then backwash check the pressure again the pressure should for any size hayward pump push your hand away if it does not then change your sand.

Why does the water pressure go down with a dirty pool?
As the filter gets clogged it restricts the flow of water and the pressure in the return line drops. The pressure gauge on the filter itself indicates the entry pressure and that will go higher as the filter becomes clogged. Don't ever allow the pressure to reach 40 PSI. Back-washing the filter should restore the pressures. Pool Masters

Can you help my pool sand filter is showing almost zero pressure the pump filter is clean and i have back washed ive also checked for air leaks in the pipes as i also have air in the sand filter?
The first question to ask is are you getting suction from the pool, When the sand filter is cleaned the pressure goes down. So the only thing you should worry about is. 1 The filter should be set on filter. you should be getting strong suction from the suction side outlet of the pool. and you should make sure you are not sucking air into the skimmer.
