Several Leaks Around Filter System

[klwlls11]

It looks like I have the Hayward 714 series which from what I'm reading you cannot replace the spider gasket on this model.

A leak from under the screws in the multiport, and from the backwash port, and from a ball valve does not sound like a spider gasket problem: it sounds like your filter piping froze with water present, and cracked a bunch of things.

Is this the valve you have?


If so, I don't quite understand your phrase "right where the nut and bolt is" -- there are 6 or 8 stainless machine screws with nuts that hold the handle plate down. Is that what you mean?

I don't know that any of this is related to your skimmer cracks, but freezing problems could definitely fit the description you gave in the first post.
