Stop Your Multiport Valve from Leaking Water
If water is leaking from your pool filter's waste line while in filter mode — or you're losing water through the backwash port — your multiport valve's spider gasket has failed. The iFJF SPX0715D Spider Gasket is a direct, precision-fit replacement for Hayward SP0715 and SP0716 series 2-inch multiport valves. Restore proper valve sealing in under 30 minutes.
Signs Your Spider Gasket Needs Replacement
- Water continuously dripping from the waste/backwash line in filter mode
- Water bypass between positions — pool losing water unexpectedly
- Difficulty turning the valve handle — gasket binding
- Sand or DE returning to the pool through returns
- Gasket is flattened, cracked, or has missing spokes

Installation — 4 Simple Steps
-
Turn off the pump and relieve pressure. Remove the valve handle screws and lift off the handle assembly.
-
Remove the old gasket — it sits in the groove on the underside of the valve diverter (key-seal assembly). Clean the groove thoroughly of all old adhesive and debris.
-
Press the new gasket into the groove, aligning each spoke with its channel. No adhesive needed — the gasket seats in place.
-
Reassemble the valve — align the handle, tighten screws evenly, and test all positions for smooth operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if this fits my Hayward valve?
A: Check your valve label — it should say SP0715 or SP0716. This is a 2-inch valve gasket. Also measure your valve's plumbing connections — they should be 2-inch.
Q: Do I need to use glue or adhesive to install this gasket?
A: No. The gasket is designed to press-fit into the groove on the diverter assembly. Using adhesive can actually cause premature failure by binding the gasket.
Q: Why does my new gasket fail so quickly?
A: Common causes include: turning the valve handle while the pump is running (always turn off first), excessive chlorine levels, or the valve body being warped. Always stop the pump before changing valve positions.
Q: Will this stop my filter from leaking out the waste line?
A: Yes — a properly installed spider gasket seals the internal ports so water flows only through the selected position. Leaking from the waste line in filter mode is the classic symptom of a bad spider gasket.
Q: How often should I replace the spider gasket?
A: Under normal conditions, every 3-5 years. If you notice leaking or the handle becoming hard to turn, inspect the gasket. Regular lubrication of the gasket with silicone pool lube extends its life.
