Old Pool Filter Leaks From Bottom Of Tank..
by Sam
What caused this and how to fix it. Thank you. Thanks for the question Sam I will assume you have an older DE filter because the question came through my DE filter page. Many older DE filters have metal or plastic clamps on the bottom of the filters. The leak may be cause by: A bad O-ring or gasket The clamp may be rusted out or going The older Hayward EC40 DE Filters are metal inside that can rust. They also have a spigot for draining the filter that may rust as well. Try to change any gaskets or O-rings and/or clamps. Check inside the filter for rust. If you do have some rust, it might be best to get another DE filter. Rust going back into the pool will cause more problems down the road. Hope this helps and good luck with your filter and pool. Best of luck Robert |
