    Thanks for the response. I actually did that this morning and eventually noticed the slow but steady flow of water escaping from the waste/backwash line. It looks like I need a new spider gasket for my multi-port too. I guess I have some more work to do ... I currently have the pump off but might get the filter back online tomorrow even though DE is escaping. Appreciate the suggestion.

    Welcome to The Forum!

    A temporary fix for the leaking backwash line is to simply plug it. This would allow you to keep the water circulating, which would allow you to add chems to the pool, while you're waiting for the parts.

    If you need help with replacing themanifold, grids or spider gasket - just give a whistle
