Why does the pressure on your sand filter go up when on filter and volume gets lower and when on recirculate pressure goes down and volume goes up?

Because When the filter is on the water is being pushed through the sand, this brings about a buildup of water pressure in front of the filter and a reduction of water able to get through to the returns. If the filter gets dirty the pressure gets even higher. When the system is set on recirculate the water bypasses the filter so there is no pressure in front of it and as a result of this it is able to move through the system more easily.

How can one assess if his pool has a clog in the filter line and how does he fix it?
Check the psi on the filter tank? If its lower than usual there is something stuck in the lines or jammed in the pump impeller. If its higher than normal, it just needs to be cleaned. Also, if you put the multiport handle into the recirculate position, this will bypass the filter. If everything works better in recirculate then you have a filter problem
Why would the pressure on a pool filter get lower?
Cleaning the filter will lower the back presure. or else a hole in a cartridge filter will also do it.
Why does pressure of gases when you put it in a smaller container the pressure rises?
According to Boyle's law, the pressure of a gas depends on its volume, so if you lower the volume, the pressure increases.
When a gas is cooled it?
The Ideal Gas Laws describe the relationship of temperature, pressure, and volume for a gas. These three things are all related. At lower temperatures a gas will exert lower pressure if the volume remains the same, or can exert the same pressure but in a smaller volume.
What are factors that affect gas pressure?
There are two factors that affect gas pressure. These factors are temperature and volume. Higher volume means lower pressure. Higher temperature means higher pressure.

What law is for pressure that is used to increase the volume of gas?
Possibly: P1V1 = P2V2 or: increase volume => lower pressure (thinking of the kinetic model)
How do you increase the volume of a gas without changing its particles?
Lower the pressure.

How much pressure can a bicycle air tube hold?
Depends on what kind of tire and tube. Mountain bikes how lower pressure, but a higher volume. Usually about 40 PSI. Road bikes have a higher pressure, but a lower volume. Mine are at 105 PSI when I ride.
What is the normal gauge pressure for a 16' x 30' ingroung pool?
It could be as low as 8, or 10, 12, the pressure could even be lower depending on your filter size, the lower the pressure the cleaner your filter media is the higher the pressure say 17, then you need to back wash or change the media, if you are not using sand.
How can you decrease the pressure of gas in a container without changing the volume of the gas?
You could lower the temperature.
