purex triton sm 20-2 leaking out backwash

[waste]

Welcome to the Forum!

I've never had trouble not gluing the gasket. I'd recommend not gluing it at first, if it gives you any trouble - then go ahead and secure it down. As you're about to discover, a glued gasket is a real PITA to remove!

Do you have directional inlets (eyeballs) for the returns? If so, try using 1/4" eyeballs on the strong returns and 1" on the weaker ones. It sounds like they were plumbed in series, rather than parallel so the returns first in line get more pressure than the further ones so playing with the size of the inlet will create backpressure and ~ equalize the flow.

I didn't glue and am not having trouble...and the glued gasket was a pain. I'll try the smaller eyes and see if that helps.
Thanks,

Thanks for the update. I'm batting 500 so far, let's see how the eyeballs work for you
