It's closed. Is the multivalve still set to backwash?

No, multi valve is not set to backwash. Its in the filter position. Should the valve be opened or closed? Thanks...
figured it out. re-installed the eye, position of valve should be closed
HI!
Happy spring and the start of a new pool season
The valve on your 'waste' line is a 'cheat'![]()
It's used when the spider gasket in the multiport is bad and keeps you from inadvertently draining the pool when running it in filter mode. The proper fix is to replace the spider (or wagon wheel) gasket in the multiport ( part # SP 715 - D). Replacing the gasket will keep the water from being sent to the wrong parts of the system.
If you need any help or more info, just let me know.
