    Filter head leaking on High or Closed

    @duraleigh I saw in another thread that the Vari-FLo XL valve didn't have a gasket as such, which confirms what I thought earlier. Do you see any issue in the pictures I've posted? Now the problem has disappeared when running on "High", but still interested in your opinion.

    Filter head leaking on High or Closed

    I've disassembled the multi port valve (Hayward Var-flo XL) and didn't find any damage to the spider gasket. Please see the photos, it looked like the gasket was more like caulking than a removable part. After re-assembling the leak was gone... Well at least now I "know" how to disassemble a...

    Leak behind return jet assembly

    Thanks Decoy205, that makes sense. I didn't know about the need to replace the gasket so often.

    Leak behind return jet assembly

    Hey everyone, I guess I'd just like to know how "involved" it is to replace the return jet assembly. Any advice here?

    Leak behind return jet assembly

    Dear all, firstly I wish everyone here a great upcoming pool season. Especially in the Northeast, as I know that in the South pools are already pretty hot.
