There was another PSI post but it was in regards to another issue,

I just moved into a new home with a small in ground pool. We have a ton of directions on how to make to do the various things needed for the pump system along with order of how to do them. My Wife and I wanted to use the vacuum this morning and of course misread the directions and confused the the one next to the pool with the filter basket.

Anyhow I think we got it setup correctly again and primed the system. However I am only reading about 5psi.

The system is a Hayward star clear plus and believe its only a 3/4 horse power.

How high should I be on PSI and how do I increase it if needed?

Lastly the strainer in the basket next to pump door wouldn't pop open using the directions. I swore the home owner showed me how to get into it and clean it without priming the system?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
