If you remove the cartridge from your filter housing, the presssure reading will drop.
If you are having low pressure issues this is an easy way to determine if the problem is on the pressure side of the suction side of the pump.
Depending on what type of pool you have, and what in on the equipment pad.
If you pump usually runs at 15 -18 psi then with out the filter I would guess it would be about 8 psi. Hope that helps.

Can you use flock with a cartridge filter?
When you use flock you should not put it through the filter.When vacuming flock out of a pool with a sand filter you vacuum to waste. However you don't have that luxury with a cartridge filter. The ideal solution would be to put a 3 way valve between the pump and the filter and set it up so that one of the ports can be run to waste while at the same time shutting of the water to the filter.
