Hi, Jorge. You will experience signs of the valve being hard to turn,  sand getting back into the pool, water leaking out of the waste port when in filtration mode. Inspecting the gasket will be the best way to find out if its bad.

I have an S210T2 with an SP0714T. It's started leaking out of the backwash port on any setting of the top mount (including closed). I've noticed the handle has a lot of play (I don't remember that from last year). I'm assuming SPX0714CA needs to be replaced, but what about spring/gaskets/rings?

It appears that we need to replace the Key Assembly because water is leaking out of the backwash when in filter mode. The backwash feature is also not working -the water is just trickling out rather than the usual forceful push of water that comes out. Could this all be caused by the same problem? I'm hoping the key assembly replacement will fix both. The pump was only used for 2 seasons (about 8 months total) and the gasket doesn't look to be in bad shape -is this a normal time to replace it?
