bryansmith Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I have an above ground pool with a 'GRE' pump and sand filter system. I inherited this when we bought the house and the outgoing owner was unable to provide any documentation All has gone well for two years but now there is a problem with the multi-position switch on top of the sand filter. When the pump is working all is fine. When the pump is switched of water starts to leak along the outlet (empty or backwash) pipe. It keeps leaking slowly until the water has drained past the botoom of the skimmer. When I realised what was happening I turned the switch to 'CLOSED' amd this stops the leaking. Can this be cured or will I have to close this switch each time I turn off the pump ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hi Brian,Most likely to be the spider gasket inside the multiport valve.The make of the valave should be on the label so you'll have a clue as to which one to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
