When I backwash or rinse with my Pentair multiport, water spews with high pressure from the sight glass. Will replacing the sight glass solve this problem? I recently replaced the top section of the multipart and it works fine on filter mode.

It is very common that there is a gasket where the sight glass threads into. You may need to replace both the gasket and the sight glass.

Hi, Jimmy. I would recommend replacing the Sight Glass Gasket - E-16-S1 if the valve body and sight glass are in good condition.

Hi Lisa, can you provide the model number of the multiport valve, or could you send us a few photos? One of the entire valve and one looking down onto the top of it? To supply photos simply click the reply link below and upload your photos. Once we get those photos we can make the proper recommendation.
