Cleaning the cartridge filters for the first time today and I noticed a hole in the lower assembly. ( 17 in the diagram ) Not quite sure if it is supposed to be there. It's not a crack that is seeping. It almost looks like a weep hole as water is coming out in a stream.

The only "pool store" I visit is WalMart & Home Depot. A truly "honest" pool store would have to sell a lot of pool toys and be able to somehow turn a profit while competing with WalMart & Home Depot bleach/acid prices to stay in business. Unfortunately, there is a lot of money to be made by...
