Fast "drip" from Filter Valve

[kevinanton7]

Hi, I have a fast drip, from the waste port of my Vari-flo XL any ideas?

Thank you!

It may have failed to properly seat after you last moved it. Try cycling through to other positions (pump off) and return to filter. If leak persists, you likely need to replace the gasket inside.

Less likely is that the plastic of the assembly is cracked. If the plastic is cracked, at a minimum, you'd need to replace the entire valve unit.

Will try that, thanks!

Cycled the valve and we went from a drip to a full blown leak. I don't see anything cracked on the outside. Worth disassembling to inspect before ordering a new gasket?

Cycling through will open the waste port to gravity temporarily. Are you on filter with consistent water flow out waste now? If so, then yes, disassembly to inspect is warranted. Take precautions to prevent the pool from draining while you are inspecting.

Is this check valve pointing in the correct direction?

Yes, you can't see it, but it elbows over to the SWG.

You can replace the diverter SPX0714CA or the diverter with top SPX0714BA.

Clean and lubricate all O-rings.
