    Pentair TR60 Buttress blows off.

    If I posted that 5 years ago then it must be at least 10 years old. I can find no trace of when I bought it but it was still in the box. The old dome looks like the Detail A. I installed it as it was just a swap with the old TR60. Perfect line up. I appreciate your input and research. I...

    Pentair TR60 Buttress blows off.

    All lines have been blown with the output lines taken off. I don't see an inbound obstruction would cause but will look. Bought the tank in Phoenix 5 ish years ago still in the box, but who knows

    Pentair TR60 Buttress blows off.

    Yes, the dome. And yes that is my fear. I see no thread damage but that really means nothing. And the tank is 5ish years old.

    Pentair TR60 Buttress blows off.

    I am confused. I came home and found my TR60 sand filter was leaking (with the pop ups cleaning) underneath the sand filter buttress. I tightened the top cap and it blew off. I changed the O ring - still leaked, tighten it and it blew off. TR60 has a new buttress design; I ordered it. I...
