Pentair Hi Flow Multiport Installation

[EJAbraham]

I have reviewed the Pentiar site top to bottom and it's a waste of time. Absolutely no help with diagrams or plumbing instructions.
Does anyone have a photograph or diagram on how to plumb one.

Welcome to TFP.

Yeah, Pentair does not give any help with installation instructions for their MPVs.

What exact part number MPV do you have?

What exact part number filter are you connecting it to?

Basically you have five pipe connections on the MPV for filter IN, filter OUT, WASTE line for backwashing or draining, from PUMP, and RETURN to POOL.

It does not show the five pipe connections on the MPV and where they go to.

An installation instructions manual comes in the box.

Plumb pump piping to center pipe in valve.

The ports should be labeled “Return” and “Waste”.

What filter do you have?

Can you show a picture of the valve?

Below is for a sand filter.

Is the valve plumbed with the filter unions?
