If the pump is on, the guage shows pressure, and water is returning to the pool, I believe you are in "filter" mode.
Have you ever backwashed?
What psi is on the guage (pump running)?

Pump shows a little under 15 when running.
Yes there is great suction into the pump and pressure out but just wanted to make sure the valve wasn't set to straight thru.
I have never backwashed since it's only been in use 1 month with new sand.
Update: Turned pump off and now shows 8... Guess a new guage may be needed.
