    I didn't do that, when I did hourly service work -- it still took my time to get there; my tools and knowledge to check it out, and it wasn't my fault it was broken.

    Update: got a pool company to replace clamp through our home warranty and no more leak. So I don't need a new filter

    Just to make sure I understand: they replaced the entire clamp on the filter, and that fixed the problem?

    Yes the old metal clamp that has 2 bolts to tighten the clamp has been replaced with a new plastic clamp with 1 bolt that tightens the clamp, and no more leak
