Drain plug on my Pentair filter tank started leaking, removed, cleaned, inside and outside of opening, and replaced o-ring and it is still leaking. Have had pool for 16 years and never removed drain plug and it never leaked until now. Any thoughts? Threads on drain plug and tank seem fine.

Welcome to TFP! 
Still having that leak? Is your model leaking from the cap, or perhaps from the plug fitting itself? Can you tell? Did you try some lube on the O-ring?
Feel free to post a pic if needed.
