Hi all, first time on the forum so be gentle with me.
Just recently my sand filter has begun to leak out the backwash pipe when running on filtration setting. Reading up, pointed to multiport valve gasket and indeed upon inspection it appears worn / damaged. So I need a new gasket.
However the only marking on the multiport is "SFC". The gasket is 136mm diameter (about 5" 3/8) and is a 5 leg shape. This appears to match both Haywood and Plastica multiports. The multiport is about 18 years old and put in by previous house owners, so no paperwork.
Anyone able to help identify? If not will have to guess!
Many thanks in advance
P.s. I'm in England so pools and pool shops with decent stocks of spares are not plentiful, so will have to buy mail order.
