Leaking water at the discharge port of AGP

Apr 10, 2009

I have an AGP and have learned lots in the last 3 years! That is not to say that I know anything at this point. Right now my situation is baffling. The pool water is leaking out through the discharge port as if the valve was still open for backwashing. I have taken the top of the Multi-Port system and do not see anything that would cause the water to leak out... HELP! PLEASE! What do I look for? Thanks for your help! jlovell
 
Welcome to TFP!!

It's either the spider (a/k/a wagon wheel) gasket in the multiport or the 'tracks' that the gasket sits in are warped or broken :( The gasket should sit in the tracks, with the tracks tight against it, level - if you see any humps or wrinkles on the gasket, you need to replace it.

As a practical matter, if vacuumed stuff isn't bypassing the filter and blowing right back into the pool, you can simply plug the discharge port and deal with the fix later 8)
