backwash position for pentair 2" slide valve?

[madgame8]

Thanks for the info Socal_biker, but it only seems like I can only turn the handle left and right? There is an "open" and "lock" and right now I believe it's set in between those positions? Thanks again!

Turning left and right merely locks or unlocks the valve in its present position. I think your O-ring inside the unit has become dry and is stuck. You may try disassembling and lubing the O-ring and see if you can get it to move up and down like it should.
