Good Morning,
I recently replaced my Waterways WVS003 sand filter valve. The filter part is working perfectly, it fit on perfectly, no leaks etc. However, when i try to backwash, there is almost no pressure out the backwash hose and there is still water flowing in through the water return when the filter is in the backwash position. I also noticed when I switch it back to filter that it will sometimes continue to leak out of the backwash port.
I've got a couple of weeks to return it and have already reached out to the vendor to see if they have any suggestions. Is there anyway I can fix it or should I just return it and have it replaced?
Thank You

Please post some pics of your filter, the valve, and hoses/lines that are connected to it.
