Have you maintained the water level in the pool? Could be a suction leak. Check the pump lid gasket for correct fit. Have you emptied the pump or skimmer baskets lately?

The recommended pressure for the Hayward CC15093S pool filter typically ranges between 10 to 20 psi when the filter is clean. As the filter media becomes dirty and clogged, the pressure will rise, indicating that it's time to clean or backwash the filter. Regularly monitoring the pressure can help maintain optimal filtration performance. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific guidelines related to your model.

My Hayward sand filter doesn't have a liner. I just add the sand to the pressure vessel.
To ensure that your Hayward Micro Star Clear C225 filter is not reaching maximum pressure without a pressure gauge, you can monitor the flow rate and the cleanliness of the filter. Regularly check the water flow returning to the pool; a significant decrease in flow might indicate that the filter is becoming clogged. Additionally, perform routine maintenance by cleaning or replacing the filter media as needed, typically every few weeks or based on usage, to maintain optimal performance.
To achieve strong pressure from a Hayward Perflex filter, first ensure that the filter is clean and free of debris by backwashing or cleaning the filter element as needed. Check that the pump is operating efficiently and that there are no leaks or blockages in the plumbing. Additionally, confirm that the correct amount of filter media is used and that the multiport valve is set to the appropriate position for filtering. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the pressure gauge will help maintain optimal performance.
The pressure gauge on a Hayward S240 sand filter should typically read between 8 to 12 psi when the system is running normally. If the pressure rises significantly above this range, it may indicate that the filter is dirty and needs to be backwashed or cleaned. Conversely, a reading below this range may suggest a problem with the pump or a leak in the system. Regular monitoring of the gauge helps maintain optimal filtration performance.
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.
A Hayward filter typically uses around 300-500 lbs of sand. The sand should be replaced every 5-7 years or when the flow rate decreases even after backwashing. Backwashing should be done when the filter pressure increases by 7-10 psi above the clean pressure.
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.
when the pressure is high on filter mode it usually means that a backwash is required.
The cleaner the filter is the lower the initial back pressure is going to be, if you have a valve between the filter and the pool return turn, shut of the flow of water for just a moment. if the impeller is working properly the back pressure gauge should suddenly start to read high. Other reasons for low back pressure may be that the seals inside the unit are not properly settled.
Pressure filtration typically occurs when a mixture needs to be separated quickly and efficiently by passing it through a filter under pressure. This process is commonly used in industries such as wastewater treatment, pharmaceuticals, and food processing to separate solids from liquids.
