How old is your house? What material are the pipes? Assuming you're on a pump what PSI is your control box set at? How deep the well? Did this pressure loss happen suddenly or did it come on gradually? Back to you, Tom

Other than a pump failure, leaking seals! Or you got a leak in the pipe work, just my 10p's worth... I'd like a pool today. Stuck inside sticky day, should have worn shorts!

Do you have clear plastic lid on your pump ? If positive: do you see lots of air bubbles inside ?

Silly me! And here I though you were asking about house pressure. If this were my call I would take a 1/4 inch snake and snake the suction line. What PSI does the pressure gage show when the pool pump's running? If it's real high I would backwash and if was still too high I would snake the discharge line as well.
Good luck, Tom

Damn Tom, can you get me a cheap pool, and come and install it. Free beer!
