Hello, over the past two days I replumbed my filter set-up. I'm making the switch to SWG this year! A friend gave me his old Sta-Rite Cristal Flo II (Model 145361). I just finished up all my plumbing last night and I went to start up and I've got an electrical issue that I think I have the solution for. However, what I don't have a solution for is that with the pump off and valves open from the pool skimmer and pool return it appears like I've got a leak in the multi-valve. I get a slow trickle of waste coming from the waste port. Hopefully this is something simple. I still have my previous filter, but it was quite a bit smaller and I would have to replumb everything again. Any suggestions?

I can add photos when I get home this evening. I will double check but I'm fairly certain the plumbing is accurate.
If the plumbing is correct, you might need to clean and lubricate the internal rubber gaskets and O-rings or replace them.

This says it is a replacement and is about $50 cheaper. My only concern is will it match up with my current plumbing? I'd really like to avoid doing that all over again.
Do you want to replace the valve or just the diverter?
Did you use the unions that are made for the valve?
You can ask Inyo if the plumbing lines up.

The valve is ~15 years old. I was just going to replace the whole assembly. I’ll give a photo in a few hours of my set-up.
The union kit is a good choice for that valve.

On second thought replacing those parts seems straightforward. Thank you for the video guides. I’ll try replacing parts first.
