Re: hole in sand filter tank
Pool epoxy, from the inside. It sets up underwater, and the pressure from the inside will help it seal.
Or get a plastic welder and weld it with multiple layers.
Re: hole in sand filter tank
jb weld! i used some on the side of the autopilot manifold i burnt through with a soldering iron (long story) and used jb weld..no water leaks, stands up to the pressure, stuck fine to the pvc.
Re: hole in sand filter tank
Thanks guys...I may give JB Weld a try on the outside of the tank. I really don't want to mess with going inside the tank. I'll sand it good and give it a try.
Thanks for the reply........Jay
Re: hole in sand filter tank
Just out of curiousity... what kind of tank is this?
I have a small hole (crack) on the inside of my old filter but I may patch it and hold onto the tank.
Let me know how the repair turns out.
Thanks.

Thank goodness!
Please tell me the secret on getting a new filter. I attempted but they wouldn't budge. It still frustrates me because there is no reason it should have cracked.
If possible I'd like to get some details from you so I can still attempt to get the tank replaced.
Thanks!
