Hi everyone. I am new to pools and new to this forum. So any help will be greatly appreciated. I would like to start off with the fact that my pool is only 9 months old. I bought my pool and had it professionally installed last August. I am not sure what model filter system I have but I do know it is a Hayward. When I went to open my pool this year I filled the pool with water and began running the pump and filter. Now I have a leak around the multi position valve right where the nut and bolt is. It is also leaking around the fitting where the waste comes out when you backwash. The third leak is coming from the two way ball valve. On top of all of this I also noticed that I have several small cracks on the front plate of my skimmer (inside the pool). I closed my pool just like I was told to do, so can anyone give me an explanation of how and why this happened but most importantly what I need to do to fix it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
