    Pentair Cartridge Filter Inflow and Outflow connections

    Gotcha. I did tighten with a wrench so maybe that's my issue. I'll double check the oring and then hand tighten it. I'll also apply some lube which I didn't do.

    For those asking about possible pool leak, according to attached photos showing a 24 difference, it doesn't appear that I have a leak. Auto fill was turned off during this time as well.
