Pool Filter ?
Question:I have just opened my pool for the season and I have a sand filter for an Above ground pool. I am having problems with my backwash. I have a constant water drip out of my hose, has my filter been damaged through the winter ?? And should it drip like this even when the filter is on the filter position and not the backwash position. Any Information will be Greatly Appricated.... Please Help
Answers:
That would be the spider gasket under the multiport valve. You can pick one of these up at your local pool store. They are extremely easy to replace, just undo all the screws holding the top of the valve in place and it will lift off. Pull the old gasket out, put the new one in and put it all back together. Don't screw the bolts in too tightly though or you can experience leaking.
I had an in ground pool that had to have seal replace under the handle that switched pumps functions.It was allowing water to leak out. Don't know if it is the same setup as yours though.
