    Hayward Progrid DE Filter multiport valve issue

    Pool was built in 2020. I’ve had ongoing issues with the hot tub heater squealing - they say it gets enough gas so that leads me to believe it isn’t getting enough water flow. Filter is regularly backwashed and opened up and cleaned out a little less than a year ago. The backflow handle was...

    Sand Filter & Multiport Replacement

    Just closed the pool a few days ago. It took forever waiting for the water temp to get under 50 degrees. The sand filter has been in use for around 20 years. I estimated based on the manufacture date for the serial number. Based on how fast debris settles on the bottom of the pool I've...

    Possible pool leak, multiport crackling, and air in skimmer when pump stopped

    After doing the bucket test, it seems there is definitely some kind of leak in my pool, but the very odd thing is that it appears to be random when this happens. I can go a full week or two without losing much of any water, and then a week or two where it loses water much more than the bucket...

    Leaks

    Just installed a new pump and Pentair multiport. The two ports on the multiport (for pump and return) are leaking. I only threaded them in. Was I supposed to actually glue the threads into the multiport? Looks like I’m going to have to do some more hacking away. Also I bought a new o ring for...

    Broken multi port valve

    My multi port handle broke off and it’s stuck in the back wash setting. It’s a Hayward pump not sure if that makes a difference. Is there a way to change this setting back to filter without the handle? It’s going to take several days to get a new one and we really need the pump back on filter.
