Hayward Backwash Slide Valve: Replacing the Tiny O-ring from Hell

[TRoe--]

Great video and "FN quiters" was a good line. I went to the Leslies pool supplies to get the o ring kit and I said what's the little one for? They said you probably don't need it. YES I DID, that was the problem. That pin in the handle is a B! took me an hour to get it out. But it's all good now! Thanks for posting this video

Thank you. But what leak were you referring to ? I assume you meant a water leak out of the top. My problem is DE leaking back into the pool. I’ve already replaced the grids and manifold. The only likely culprit is the BW valve.
