As the filter clears the water, microscopic particles attach to the filter. Since these particles slow the flow of the water, the pressure increases. This indicates it's time to clean your filter. Most filters need cleaning 2-3 times a year. If your pressure increases more than 2-3 times a year, it may be time to replace your filters.
If you can blow through the filter with no constrictions it's fine.
Probably because it is clean, leave it on the filter setting for a while and you will find that the pressure will increase as the filter gets dirtier, when it get high (usually in the red ) you will have to backwash.
Cleaning the filter will lower the back presure. or else a hole in a cartridge filter will also do it.
This is what your filter gauge will read when it is first start with a new and clean filter cartridge / D.E. or sand.
when the pressure is high on filter mode it usually means that a backwash is required.
Depending on the type of filter it needs to be cleaned or backwashed. Cartridge filter: Hose off. If pressure does not go down buy new cartridges Sand filter: Backwash, if pressure does not go down replace sand DE filter: Backwash, if pressure does not go down remove element from tank and hose off and or acid wash. Also... always make sure you gauge is working

You may have debris caught up in the impellers, the pump motor may be on its way out or if you have a cartridge filter the cartridge may be clogged with mineral deposits see if the pressure in front of the filter is always high if it is your pool shop will have the right gear for cleaning it out. A: Clean or back wash the filter and recharge with new D. E. as needed. Clean out or empty the skimmer and pump baskets. If it has been over 25 - 30 days since you last cleaned the filter either by back washing or hosing the cartridge elements then your filter is dirty. High pressure reading on the filter tank gauge is the first indication that the filter is dirty and needs cleaning. k
A cartridge filter is inside an assembly as an element is its own assembly.
The pressure of the cartridge.
because the leak releases pressure?
