mpv sending water to filter when set to waste

Hi
have an issue with my pump which only popped up today. Went to vacuum floc waste to waste, but the mpv sent 50% to waste, 50% back to pool, thus making it messy. It works on other settings, such as backwash, rinse, recirc and filter, but on waste it seems to split the water with the filter. Any thoughts?
its a poolrite s6000 pump and bell.

First thought will always be the spider gasket failing inside, take a look.
I may not give you the answer you want to hear, but I will give an honest opinion of your situation as you decribe it.

Seconded on that, but take an image before dismantling so that you put it back correctly
