I was a little late taking this valve in last fall. I may have been out in

Just hooked everything up and water is dribbling out thebackwashhose....

could this be taken apart and repaired?
I'm going to search for any kind of " repair kit " or could I just cap off
thebackwashline until I need to use it?

I see a replacement online for $109 as a last resort..

The spider gaskets tend to swell up and leak. Very simple replacement,
just remove all the screws/nuts and pop a new one in. Do not lubricate
it with anything. The secret to longer life if to choose one direction
and always turn the valve handle in that direction, don't go clockwise
one time then counter CW the next time.
