Leak out of backwash hose...

I've always been told to rotate the valve in one direction only. I've done that ever since mine was new, and have never had a problem with it. Mine's a clockwise valve! Really, I don't know if I'm just lucky, or whether it's a good idea.

Somehow in the confusion of the last few days I missed the post of the pics and didn't catch it until todays post. Rotation direction shouldn't matter because once you push the handle out of the detents the valve part that seats on the gasket is raised off the gasket.

Pierce,
I'm curious how you installed the new gasket. Quite a debate occurred in the last couple months.
