Update:
There is a sensor on the top of that manifold that's not shown in the first diagram I looked at. It has a plastic body threaded in through the top and appears to be where the leak is coming from. It's only a spoon full in 6hrs.
Since it's plastic I'm nervous about tightening it without a backup in case it snaps. Looks like the leak is around those threads. Item 8-HP in last diagram.
Rheem gas heater has a very small amount of pool water that accumulates on top on the water inlet manifold. Just started doing this, heater has been off for a couple of weeks. I see water on top of part 2-HP. What are my chances that the gasket 7-hp is the problem? Is it hard to get to/change?
