How To Repair Leak in Sand Filter

[chrisexv6]

Id watch it carefully....the tank is under pressure. Wouldnt want that to be a safety issue if the epoxy lets go.

Ive had success fixing just about everything pool related (NOT under pressure) with a putty-type epoxy (its 2 separate colors and then you knead it until its all one uniform color, then apply to the crack), but I wouldnt really attempt a fix of something thats under pressure.

Personally I would be ordering another tank, at least your fix works while you wait for the new tank.

Thanks for the info and please post in a while ane let us know how it's holding. Also, there is no safety issue on these tanks. They are filled with water, incompressible, so even being under pressure if the crack lets go there will just be a poof and a stream of water, no blast. If the tank was filled with a gas, compressible, then you have a potential violent event.
