Thank you so much
leaking in the sand filter

you did not say what brand & model sand filter you have, but it could be as simple as replacing a gasket/o-ring that has worn out. you can type in this info & normally check diagrams to see what could be leaking or take it apart & see whats wrong.
Hi thank you so much for the quick reply
I just checked on the filter and the brand name is "hayward s240 filter"
If you google it, you could probably see the dragram of the filter.
Anyways, I think the problem might be the worn out O Ring(#4 in the diagram) since the water was from the gap between access cover(#3 in the dragram)and the filter tank head(#5 in the diagram). Do you have any idea where I could purchase the O ring from? Does Home Depot/Rona carry parts like that??
And is it possible if I replace the part by myself???
thank you so much....
