I just went outside to check on everything and found that my backwash line from the multiport valve to the sewer line is frozen solid.
During snowmageddon a few years ago it froze as well and I replaced it. When I replaced the PVC I added a screw top so I could take a peek and see if there is ever water in it. I kept an eye on it for a few months and it was always dry as a bone. I was curious/bored a second ago and screwed off the top and can see it is frozen solid. I added some heat tape, but guessing the PVC will have to be replaced before I backwash again.
I'm 75% sure that means I have some sort of leak in my multiport, but I wanted to be sure. Anyone have any thoughts?
