    Sand filter Multiport Problem

    Well, it did. The pin was opposite of the notch it sits in. I wish I had took pic of it before it was put in it's right position. I did not even think to look it over for that when I took it out of box and packaging. I ASSUMED it was as it should be.

    Sand filter Multiport Problem

    When I have it on filter everything works the way it should. But not on recirculate. It is not pulling water in from skimmer to the returns. I have 2 returns. The back wash and rinse and waste all work properly.

    Sand filter Multiport Problem

    The pump basket was full but no flow coming out of return. It was not pulling water out of the skimmer either. We had to replace the multiport valve 2 months ago and it is a little different from the original.

    The pressure is 15 psi on filter and jumps to 21 psi when on recirculate. I have only tried to use the recirculate last week when I was having algae problems and having to use chemicals from pool store and they told me to use the recirculate setting and run for 2 hrs. after 15 minutes I checked...
