Don't possibly know why you could be loosing pressure on the pool. However you may be loosing pressure in the line to the pool from the filter. If you are also loosing suction then :

there is not enough water in the pool and the skimmer is sicking air.

bad pump seal

loose pump lid

bad o-ring seal at pump lid

loose fittings in and out of the pump. that is the piece of equip. that has the motor attached. The filter is the large tank. The pool is the vessel that is holding all the water.

You can also lose pressure if your skimmer and your pump baskets are filled with debris, kink in the hoses, or your filter needs to be cleaned, or filter sand or cartridge needs replaced.

You also may be thinking of pressure as in the force of the water coming out of the return jets. If this is the case, then your filter has become dirty and the water can't pass thru it very well. Clean your filter.

You have only about half pressure on your pool pump?

Usually the pressure gauge on your pool equipment indicates how much pressure there is before the filter. as the pressure goes up it indicates that the filter is getting blocked and needs a backwash or cleaning. while the pressure is low the filter does not need cleaning.


What are some common causes of low pressure going through the pool filtration system?

Common causes of low pressure in a pool filtration system can include clogged skimmer or pump baskets, dirty or clogged filters, air leaks in the suction lines, or a malfunctioning pump or impeller. Regular maintenance and cleaning of these components can help resolve low pressure issues.

Is a cyclone and a whirl pool the same?

No, a cyclone is a large, rotating low-pressure system that occurs in the air. A whirlpool is a vortex that happens in water.


Why low pool filter pressure after backwashing?

Low pool filter pressure after backwashing typically indicates that the filter has effectively removed debris and contaminants, leading to a clear flow of water. This drop in pressure can also occur if the filter media is clean, reducing resistance to water flow. Additionally, if there are leaks in the system or if the pump is not operating at full capacity, it can contribute to lower pressure readings. Regular monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure optimal filter performance.

Are hurricanes low pressure or high pressure?

Hurricanes are characterized by a low-pressure system at their center. The low pressure at the core of a hurricane is what drives the strong winds and circulation of air around the storm.


Does wind move from high to low or low to high pressure?

Wind moves from high pressure to low pressure. Air always moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in an attempt to equalize pressure differences.


What should be the pressure of the water as it leaves the return jet and enters an in-ground swimming pool?

No specified pressure at the "return" fittings at pool side. You do not measure pressure at these points.


Is the low pressure port and the low pressure switch the same thing?

No, the low pressure port and the low pressure switch are not the same thing. The low pressure port is used for connecting a gauge to measure refrigerant pressure in the system, while the low pressure switch is a component that monitors the pressure level and can shut off the compressor to prevent damage.


The pressure level on your swimming pool is only 5?

It is not possible to have a pressure level on your swimming pool! However the pressure on the filter gage could run anywhere from 5# to 35#


Which valve lowers swimming pool pressure?

You can not measure the pressure in a swimming pool. If you mean the pressure on the filter tank gage then you may have to backwash the filter. Talk to your local pool store for instructions as how to maintain a swimming pool and the equipment. Get some education on swimming pool maint. before you get into some real trouble. A pool is not too forgiving for someone without a basic knowledge of pools.
