Why does my multiport valve leak out of the backwash line?
The valve seat gasket inside of the valve may have become worn or loose. If this is the case, you will need to replace the gasket. With the pump off, remove the cover screws of the valve.
NOTE: Mark the top and bottom of the valve with a marking pen. You mustn't change the location of the cover when reassembling. Some newer valves will have a flat spot alongside one of the cover screws. When re-assembling, align the flat spots.
GENTLY remove the old gasket and glue, ensuring the channels are clean and clear. Use 3M adhesive, part number SPX0710Z9, or crazy glue**. Lay a bead of adhesive into the channel where the gasket sits. Place the flat side of the gasket into the channel. Apply pressure to firmly seat the gasket and let dry for 24 hours or contact your Authorized Hayward Dealer for repair.
**Crazy Glue – Use caution when using crazy glue. You will have only ONE chance to seat the gasket
