    Waterways Clearwater II Filter leaking?

    Nope. It was a leak in the hose leading to the pump. Fixed it today. Do you have any suggestions as far as a brand of model where the lid isn't so difficult to get back on? Any already difficult task is made more difficult by the fact that out filter sits underneath our pool deck so you have...
