1. If your filter hasn't been backwashed, that's a good place to start. 2. If you haven't done a seasonal disassembly and washout of your filter, that will allow a residual to build up and keep your flow low. 3. The control selector valve...you may want to open that up and make sure there's no blockage in there as well... only as a last resort. 4. Also, remove the basket in the pump and reach in to the intake port and check for debris...that'll do it too. Let me know if you get the pressure back up! K

With the pump off and the basket out reach inside the pump with some needlenose pliers and see if something is clogging the impeller. It will be inside the hole behind the pump basket and will feel spongey when you reach in there. If so work it counter clockwise and when it loostens up pull it out with the pliers. Hope this helps.
