Of course I forgot the picture but here they are. We had that big storm come through Mass last night so the general wetness is from last night’s heavy rain.

So I’m attaching a few pictures, including a pulled back view of the whole system. But the slow seeping leak is at the connection where you can see the blue tape. Regarding post #2 for the high temp union with o-ring that seals to the pump, I’m not ignoring that but I just replicated what had...

So the origin of all this, and I started a thread on it last year, was my pump overheated at the end of last year’s pool season and a threaded connection blew off the top of the pump. This pump was replaced under warranty and I replaced the pvc connections that were warped as well. I nursed the...

Hey thanks, the white fitting did come with the pump, along with some tape. I would describe the theads as straight and not tapered, but long story short the pump was replaced under warranty and they sent the new fitting with it. An installer set up the original pump and system and I...

Hello all, I have a new Hayward SP SP2670007x10 with a new threaded fitting which threads onto the top of the pump on the return side. I’ve attached a photo to show where I cannot get the threaded connection to stop leaking (I have not fully screwed the connection onto the pump in the picture...

Hey just looking at this again after a few weeks as I made due with the issue until I and closed my pool. I think I noticed some bubbles in the pump housing and also the pump would immediately lose its prime when I shut it off. I’m going to have a professional look at the pump and housing, I...

Thank you, I understand what you’re saying about it being impossible by design. I’m just confused as I see no water leaking and the overall water level is holding steady. So I don’t believe there is an underground leak. I’ve had times in the past where I haven’t been able to get the pump to...

Hey revisiting this after a week or so. My connections seem water tight, no leaks (with the help of some flex seal) for now. My returns, however, are consistently gurgling and passing a lot of air bubbles back into the pool. Also there seems to be an unusual amount of air blowing out from the...

So my finger is pointing to the mentioned areas. Where I’m pointing to the connection on the pump housing is a threaded connection, it unseated from that threaded connection and the fitting was warped. I replaced the fitting and rethreaded (with plumber’s tape) it into the the female threads of...
