Hayward Multi_valve leak?

[AmigaDude]

I recently had a similar problem which I fixed by replacing the Spider gasket. Now, no more leaking (I hope) down the drain. I assume you know that the gasket to check is the strang one down in the valve, and not the circular one at the top. Contrary to what I've been reading, my replacement would not work until I used some Krazy Glue to hold it down.

Afterwards I had a minor leak around the top, like you, and just had to clean off the circular gasket and apply a little lube. I only put the lube on the gasket and not one the valve itself.

Best of luck to you.

The spider gaskets go bad pretty frequently. Replace it, make sure you use a bit of silicone lube when you put everything back together. The local pool shop should have the replacement gaskets, no big deal.
