Green Pool

Shouldn't need to do anything else to the sand, but if your pressure gauge is not working reliably, I would definitely change it out. Your filter may be too gunked up to do anything else until it's backwashed, but without the pressure gauge, you don't know for sure.

Edit for more info: If you do find that the pressure isn't rising, you can try to add a handful of DE (the type you use in DE filters) through your skimmer. It will help your filter catch some of the finer stuff. You need a working gauge to do that, though--you only want to add enough DE to raise your pressure by 1 ppm. That pressure rise can take up to 30 minutes or so, though, so if you add some, give it a little while before you add anymore. If the pressure gets too high, you'll need to backwash it out and try again.

Update
Today is Saturday and the FC checked in at 18 so I added a 1/2 bottle of bleach to bring it up to 22.

Pool is clearing slowly form dark green in the beginning to a light green in the deep end.

I have been brushing the pool a few times each day.

Bought a new pressure gage today , old one was shot.

Keeping pump running 24 hours a day,

Thanks for the tips

The last couple of days the pool has been clear and looks really good

Only thing put in has been bleach and borax to bring PH up

I did get some of the DE fiber stuff and added a few handfulls to the skimmer

Thanks for the help

Pool season is now in full swing
