Started 2 days ago, whenever I turn on the pump, a small stream of water would escape from the waste line. I did some research and decided to replace the spider gasket in the multi port valve. (I have pentair SM-20-2)
So I took apart the valve, lubed the o rings and clean the spring.. spent almost an entire day to remove the old spider gasket... in the end the leak got better, but I still have a minor leak drops at a time...
When I put the top cover back on the housing, I had to press it down to make it flush before screwing it in place. I think that may be normal, because the spider gasket is new and taller?
Also the handle felt loose and there is some play in the vertical direction... what do you think I can do next? Thanks.
