Check your o ring for wear. Also maybe some crud on the area where they come together. Disassemble clean the area well, check the o ring, if in good shape maybe lightly lube and reassemble
I have a Hayward DE filter model EC-50C which has developed a leak between where the upper and lower filter housings are joined with the clamp Ass'y and spring.....I have the clamp plenty tight but there is still a small amount of leakage...Seeing the housing is plastic I don't want to break the plastic by over tighting the spring too much....Anybody ever have this problem and how did you correct this???

My Pac Fab DE filter has this type of closure. If I don't get it lined up just right before tightening it all the way down, I get a leak. And I second the check for crud and condition of the O ring.Originally Posted by guman2
