    Leak only in FILTER mode on Hayward 244T

    So, I have this leak between the Multiport flange, and the tank flange where they join, but ONLY when I'm in FILTER mode. On recirculate it doesn't leak there. And it when in FILTER mode, it only leaks on one side. That seamed side used to be under the MPV (multi port valve) section for FILTER...

    Hayward 244T Leak

    I noticed that if I put it on "backwash" or on "re-circulation," it doesn't leak at all. It only does it when in "filtration" setting.

    Hayward Navigator doing Circles

    I have the same issue with my Navigator as in this thread. I did the "hang" test, and sure enough, only goes clockwise, and thus, the hose becomes all twisted. I blew into the little hole in the gearbox, and it DOES make the 'whirring' sound, so I put it back together and it still twists the...
