Why does water leak from the backwash pipe when the multiport valve is on ‘filter’?

Q: Why is my pool water not heating up with my solar panels?

Ensure that you have enough panels depending on the size of your pool. The timer needs to be appropriately set, so that water runs through your panels during the day. Make sure the valve is not closed, which means water bypasses the solar panels. Finally, you could install a solar blanket to keep heat locked in.

Q: Why does my pool cleaner hose come out of the weir when I switch off the pool pump?

This is as a result of pressure build-up from the filter and pump. To remedy this, install a non-return valve or flapper valve on the suction line.

Why does water leak from the backwash pipe when the multiport valve is on ‘filter’?

It is likely that your backwash valve is under pressure from the pump. If a gasket in the valve is missing or out of place, water will leak. It is best to replace the multi-port gasket.
