First: How do you know if you have a leak?
If there is water leaking from your waste pipe (pictured below) when you pool is running and if you are noticing a drop in water level in your pool, these are indications you have a possible faulty spider gasket.
Second: Where is it and whats happening?
It is located in your multi-valve, in front of your filter. (see picture)
When this gasket fails, it allows water to drain out into your waste pipe of your pool
So what can we do for you?
Upon inspection of your faulty gasket we will do one of two things:
- Replace the faulty gasket (new gasket pictured below)
- Replace the entire multi-valve
In this instance it was beneficial to the customer to replace only the gasket but under different circumstance the labor time/cost it takes to replace only the gasket may be more than what it would take to simply replace the entire muti-valve. Your service technician will be able to tell you what would be most cost effective for your specific situation.
