Hi Guys,
I have a SP0714T Multi Valve on top of my sand filter. A few days ago I noticed there were two streams of water coming from where the screws/nuts meet on the clamp that holds the multi valve to the actual filter. I went to the local pool store and bought a new o-ring came home, cut the three pvc lines off cleaned all the surfaces, installed the brand new o-ring which I first lubed up with Magic Lube...put it all back together and now I am still getting two streams of water from where the band clamps meet???
There are no holes in the filter or anything like that. Is it possible that I may have OVER tightened it now? Do these band clamps wear down over time (not allowing them to provide the same pressure)?
Any other ideas before I tear this all apart again?
Thanks very much in advance!!
