Pool jet return leak ( please help)

Postby BuffaloNY12 » Mon 05 Jul, 2021 13:24

Hello,
I have a 24 foot above ground pool in the new house we recently moved into. I have never owned a pool before. There is a small but steady leak coming from the connection connecting the return hose back to the pool.

In the little indents around the connection there is also a steady drip coming from it. Can anyone provide help on what I should do to safely stop the leak? Also, how major of a problem is this?

Turn off the pump dry the area where it's leaking with a tissue and a hairdryer, and put some pvc glue on the area that is leaking. Because the pump is turned off a vacuum is created and the glue will get sucked into the leak.
