Your above ground sand filter is running at too high psi what do you do?

If your above ground sand filter is running at too high psi, there are a few things you can do to try and fix the problem:

1. Check the pressure gauge. Make sure that the pressure gauge is working properly and is not giving a false reading.

2. Clean the filter. If the filter is dirty, it can restrict the flow of water and cause the pressure to build up. Backwash the filter according to the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Check the pump. If the pump is not working properly, it can also cause the pressure to build up. Inspect the pump for damage or debris, and make sure that it is properly lubricated.

4. Check the filter media. If the filter media is old or damaged, it can also restrict the flow of water and cause the pressure to build up. Replace the filter media if it is necessary.

5. Check the water level. If the water level in the pool is too low, it can also cause the pressure to build up. Make sure that the water level is at the proper level.

6. Check the valves. Make sure that all of the valves are open and that there are no obstructions blocking the flow of water.

7. Check the pipes. If the pipes that connect the filter to the pump or the pool are damaged or kinked, it can also cause the pressure to build up. Inspect the pipes for damage or debris, and make sure that they are properly connected.

If you have tried all of these things and the pressure is still too high, you may need to contact a professional pool service to help you troubleshoot the problem.
