We just recently installed a new Hayward 22-in filter and pump assembly. After the install everything seems to work but the backwash flow is very minimal and wow backwash or waste water flows out the return nozzles
If water is returned to the pool during the backwash cycle then you have issues with the multiport valveThe pool is a 20,000 gallon For some reason the back wash is Hello water flow period and during the waist flush the water comes out the return nozzles in the pool period. I'm going to deep wash the filter but I'm afraid they might be something stuck in the valve assembly please tell me what you think
Are you sure you have the correct MPV for your filter?
What model number filter and MPV do you have?
Yes I also think it's got to be the multi port. I guess I'll get a hold of Hayward since it's brand new has anybody ever heard of this occurrence before?If water is returned to the pool during the backwash cycle then you have issues with the multiport valve
Yes I suspect that the spider gasket is bad or missing? Or could it be plumbed wrong?I try to deep clean on the filter to remove any obstructions but it was pretty clean. I'm afraid Maybe the valve assembly has something stuck in it. Can anybody help?

We had a little sand in the pool over the last day and then after I reconnected it and backlashed and rinsed there was a little more but it seemed to have stopped any sand flow. But I am still curious why the bear have low valve has water coming out of the top maybe it's got sand in it?Hopefully not- change it around & see how it goes. Are there no marks/arrows on the mpv?
Are you getting sand in the pool?
There is a small engraved p u m p on the very port and a return I don't know how I missed itWe had a little sand in the pool over the last day and then after I reconnected it and backlashed and rinsed there was a little more but it seemed to have stopped any sand flow.

Well, I do know how I missed it the piping arrangement from the jacuzzi brand filter lined up perfectly and it was just laziness for me not to look any closer when I put the Hayward inThere is a small engraved p u m p on the very port and a return I don't know how I missed it
I'm glad that we were able to help youDid you get it reconnected the right way? How’s it going?
