Don't run it.....not worth the take a chance of blowing out and partially draining pool. Likewise looks similar the h2o volition exist shooting right on the pump motor. Non a good spot to be in......new filter housing on Monday, only have to tear the filter down once. Gonna be storming all weekend, go it replaced Mon and the filters cleaned and make clean upwards pool then. If you're worried about chems, employ a lilliputian liquid chlorine. I accept seen many repairs to filter housing only to pause in another spot before long!!!

I figured its been hot and probably takes quite a bit of h2o to compensate for evaporation. Just then I observe information technology runs all the fuckin fourth dimension. Day and night.

So this afternoon I get a free minute and I figure I'm gonna meet what I can see. Flip on the pump, and its right there at the pump. The screw in 2" fitting. Ok well it'southward a new pump. I changed it last twelvemonth, simply I had the former pump rebuilt a couple of times likewise. And then the four' of pipe had at least 5 couplers in it. I figure I should beginning fresh. New elbows, pipe and fittings. No couplers. Lol.

I exercise the HD run. Get all my shit. Cut information technology, dry fit it, mucilage it all together. Paint information technology black again. Wait two hours and examination it. Wouldn't you know 1 of the elbows is cracked. Seriously??? It's all brand new. Fml. Lol. And so back to Home Depot. New everything again. Ran it, no leaks this time. Paint it over again.

Looks like I'g proficient for a couple of years again.

Use that Billy Mays spray on stuff. If it will gear up a gutter and brand a screen door float your pool filter should be a piece of block. Or one of his other commercials. Magic putty..... lol

JB weld the within, fiberglass the outside, coat both side with the Baton Mays stuff, then wrap it with duct record and use a cookie sheet for a besprinkle shield, just in case.
Or maybe call Chicken-Dan, he's a real McGyver.

I had the aforementioned problem, go to Crystaliner (sp) in Costa Mesa. They accept everything you will need to fix this & will probably tell you lot what you need & how to gear up it, really helpful staff. My repairs are going on three years, my pool guy can't believe information technology.

There are very less I seen that the pool filter get cracks. Simply as other said its non a big problem you have to wash the pool and fill the sand. Apply a piece of silicone at the crevice.
