I'm having trouble pressure canning salsa...

I am having difficulty pressure canning salsa. I've done 4 canner loads. . . 2 different canners. And don't think any of the jars are sealing. I've had 3 rings blow up and off the jar. One in each canner, not in the same load. 4 other lids are extremely blown up rather than pressed down like they should be. I thought maybe after my first canner I was filling jars too full so started filling less. Thought ay be I let it go too long so sat near canner and watched last load and maybe half of them are sealing. I'm canning for 5 lbs pressure for 5 minutes. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Hello. I have done a lot of home canning over the years and I wondered how do I tell if the pressure relief valve needs to be changed? It never has popped out, but should it be changed periodically? Thank you very much!
