How do I check for an obstruction after the filter? if there is one, how do I eliminate it?

The symptoms of a blockage are:
* extremely high pressure on the filter guage
* weak or no return flow to the pool
* straining sound from the pump

how do I eliminate it?

You first need to determine where the blockage is.

How do you determine where the blockage is located? And then, how do you eliminate it? Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

What is considered extremely high pressure?

Thank you.
