You are great, very clear instructions. Thanks
Haven’t tried yet but smells like you’re cooking with the right sauce. Bravo 🎉
Very useful information! Will do this. Thanks Mark!
Thanks for your content! I am starting up my own service after working in a different industry for a few years and need the refresher. Your channel has been the best for that so far!
So smart, Thank you
Excellent explanation. I Pool💦’s been leaking and I noticed where my backwash empties out to his stand swampy must be what you explained. Thank you.
Very good idea. Thanks.
Very helpful! Thanks
Very good illustration

I just installed a shutoff on my mother in law's flush line. Great quick fix while we order the parts.
Ahh, ball valve, duuhh!!! Also going to watch your video on repairing this rotation valve
Hi Mark, I have a Sta Rite BHR200 Sand filter with this problem. However, I don't seem to find the multi-port valve from this brand anywhere to replace it. What replacement part would you suggest to me to replace the multi-port valve with ? Is there any other compatible brand?
If you would like to email me some pictures of your system, I will be glad to help.
Mark, I dropped in a new Key Assembly 714 on my Hayward Sand Filter, put the o-ring on it lubed it before dropping it back in and it seemed to be working fine, however the site glass is full of water, is it suppose to be? I also added a Ball Valve to open during the back wash cycle and I close it afterwards. I went out today and noticed there is water sitting on top of the Key Assembly. What am I missing? and again, is water suppose to be sitting in the site glass?
If this is a new key assembly it should not be leaking. You will probably have to replace. I would contact Hayward at customer support and they should be able to help. Thanks for watching.
It's allow to connect the water supply into return pipe with ball valve?,when you use back wash the water in pool is rinsed and need to supply water again.
The water supply line for filling a pool is usually run separate.
Mark I just sent a comment but wasnt sure if it went through. I dropped in a 714 Key Assembly, made sure the 0-ring was good, lubed it, and screwed it back in. I added a ball valve to open/close during back wash cycle. I went out today and there is water sitting around the knob of the key assembly, what am I doing wrong? Also, the site glass is full of water, is it suppose to be?
If this is a new valve it should not be leaking. I would contact Hayward at customer support and they should be able to help. You will probably have to replace the key assembly. Thanks for watching.
Hello and good day I have a question for you as a professional. I have a Hayward pump with an output of 1.5 HP. Now I wanted to know how many gallon in a minute or hour this filters. I have a pool volume of 22m3. Would look forward to an answer from you and remain with the greetings to you.
What model pump do you have? Hayward makes several 1.5 HP pumps, (In ground, above ground, variable speed) all of these pumps have different specs.
I was losing water in my pool but get this, my DE filter grids were full of DE on the inside and not coating the outside as they normally should despite me recharging them on Filter mode. Is it possible that my multiport valve caused this?
If you are leaking out of the backwash while running in filter, then you need to check your multiport valve.
If I forget to close that ball valve and start filtering is there gone be water loss? I forget to close mine and the pool was running on automatic filtering, the next day the water in the pool had decreased quite a bit
You will only lose water out of the backwash or waste line if your spider gasket is bad or your diverter is not set down properly. If you are leaking out of the backwash when in filter, you need to repair. The valve is just added insurance. Thanks for watching.
Our Heyward is dripping at the bottom of the sand filter where the plastic screw on the bottom is located. Any suggestions?
Check the drain cap for cracks, and the washer for damage.
Mark I have a push pull backwash valve. How can I replace it with a multi valve type. I have a DE filter JANDY MODEL DEV48
According to the manufacturer the multiport valve for this filter has been discontinued. Thanks for watching.
I just recently replaced my multi port and when I turn pump on to backwash the water comes out weak instead of shooting out like it used to. Also my psi is only reading 6psi, any suggestions?
You want to make sure that you have your valve installed correctly. Your valve will have a pump inlet, a return outlet and a waste outlet. If lines are switched this could be the problem. As a test you can run your pump in the recirculate position to see how the flow is. If everything is hooked up properly you may want to check your pump's impeller and make sure it is not clogged. Thanks for watching.
I’m trying to setup an 18ft above the ground pool and I am using the aqua strong sand filter. I have put everything together and when I connect the hoses the hose with the top on it that you can turn on and off is shooting out water. Why is this happening?
Make sure that the o-ring is in place and not missing. If you have tighten the union on the hose you should be fine, if still leaking then you may need to check for any cracks on the housing or the hose. Thanks for watching.
if the gasket is bad in the valve will it cause filtering problems like de blowing back into the pool
No, it can definitely cause a leak in the backwash/waste line, however if your gasket is bad then you need to replace. You need to backwash and rinse the filter if this problem persists, then you may need to check your filter grids/elements for damage.
@Hallmark Pool Supplies I just replace all of them today I ensured the manifold was seated properly and I'm still seeing blow back I even replaced the breather tube I'm not sure what the deal is. also I didn't recharge the filter with de I figured I'll just vacuum it up that leaked back into the pool
@@vicentee2687 I'm having this exact issue. What was your issue?
@tommys5749 I didn't tighten the manifold all the way snug and the pressure was lifting it slightly letting de pass by
@@vicentee2687 Just took mine apart and the manifold was cracked. I put heavy duty epoxy. Hopefully it holds. Thanks
Approximately how much should I be charged if I need a company to add a ball valve
The ball valve costs about 15 dollars, there is a link down below in the description if you need one. Most homeowners can install themselves, it is pretty easy to do. As for a labor charge you can contact your local pool company or service technician.
I just bought a brand new filter and if filter is on water pours out backwash. Returned it got another new one and same exact thing
If this happens, turn off the system and rotate the handle and reset back in filter position. Sometimes the diverter does not set down properly. This should fix it, if you have any questions feel free to contact me I will be glad to help.
Where is the link in how to fix leak coming out my backwash when filter is on?
If you have a Hayward top mount 714T multiport valve here’s the link for the repair. If you have a different filter or valve let me know. Thanks for watching.

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies thank you but I have an older Pentair. I can’t find the model. It has the pvc pipes running into it so you can’t replace the entire unit. Got a gasket and going to try snd replace it. I can’t find anything online on how to replace it. Any help would be appreciated.
Send me some pictures of what you have and l will be glad to take a look. My email is on my RUclips channel.
Do not do this, bad idea, if you forget to open the valve it will blow you tank apart. I know I did it😩
