I do not have a manual for this filter. Pool was put in prior to us buying our house. I will have to look up the manual on the web and see if I can get one. Thanks for the advice guys. I am limited to the weekends to work on the filter due to the fact that my wife works during the day and I work at night and we have a 1 year old which I watch alone during the day. I have tried to fix it the past 2 weekends to no avail and my pool is looking bad. This is why I have enlisted a pool guy to help. He gives a free estimate and came by today to look at it. Said he will email an estimate to me but did tell me there would be a $60 service charge plus whatever else, which I assume will be parts and labor if I have him come back to fix the leak
