Having some trouble with my pump basket draining a few minutes after it is turned off. Checked/lubed the basket o-ring and drain plugs, issue persists. I'm fairly certain the leak is past the pump as I can turn a ball-valve that sits between my pump and filter and it stops the basket from draining (as its happening.) No bubbles in pump basket or from returns while operating the pump normally.
From other threads, my next guess was to replace the spider gasket. I just replaced the top of the multi-port 3 years ago. I would think the gasket would be good for more than 2 seasons right?
Also, any advice on the leak would be appreciated. Any other avenues I should take before the spider gasket? As for troubleshooting, I have NO check valve, and cannot shut off flow to main drain or skimmers individually.
Thanks.
