**Quick answer** A multiport valve (MPV) controls a pressure filter from a single handle: Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Drain, Recirculate and Closed, plus a brine position on softener valves. Filtsap supplies top-mount and side-mount manual multiport valves and automatic timer or meter-based control valves in 1", 1.5", 2" and 3" sizes for FRP sand, carbon and softener vessels.

Choose the valve by vessel size and flow. A valve that is too small restricts backwash flow, so the media never cleans properly and filter runs get shorter.

Each position is explained step by step in our [multiport valve positions guide](https://www.filtsap.com/guides/multiport-valve-positions/) .

## FAQs

Which multiport valve size do I need?

Match the valve to the vessel opening and the flow, including backwash flow. As a guide, 1" suits vessels up to 14" diameter and 3" suits 36" to 48" vessels.

Why is water leaking to drain in the Filter position?

Usually a worn spider gasket inside the valve. We supply replacement gaskets and complete valves.

Can I convert a manual filter to automatic?

Yes. An automatic control valve with a timer or flow meter can replace a manual multiport valve on most FRP vessels.
