Replaced the guage and took the top off to take a look.
Kinda funny since I have no idea what it should look like!

Anyways, there was around 6 inches of clear water and I could see some debris on top of the sand.

Put my hand in a felt the sand (again, no idea why) , it felt like... wet sand and soft enough to poke in.


So...I won't bug anymore, does this sound like a finely tuned working pump?

Oh, with pump on the guage reads 10 and off reads 0...
