    Something in the Multivalve assembly is either assembled wrong or the new assembly is defective. I doubt it could be much else unless it's plumbed backwards.

    CarlD--thank you so much! Your suggestions prompted my husband to check the connection of the hoses to the new multiport valve assembly. When he changed the multiport valve assembly, he reconnected everything exactly the same as it originally was. However, for some reason, the manufacturer reversed the position of the connections. So it was plumbed backwards, and we really thank you! It's time for me to vacuum the pool now so we can swim
