Water leaking from filter out valve

[aylad]

I'm wondering if the cover on your multiport was put on backwards. On backwash and waste you should get a pretty fast stream of water, and on circulate and filter you shouldn't get anything at all. One of the equipment guys should check in soon with better advice, but it definitely sounds like something's not quite right to me.

Meaning like the top half of the multiport? I actually got it from IntheSwim and it came as one piece so I'm not the one that put it together....

Can I get some sort of update on this?

I think it's one of two things:
1) Something has failed in the valve, like one of the walls, or, as always, the spider gasket.
2) It's assembled incorrectly.

In waste or backwash mode, the flow out to your waste outlet should be as strong and powerful as your normal filter or recirculate pressure to your return. When it's in filter or recirculate there should be no water through the sight glass.
