and this manual talks about a winterizing cap. I wonder if you can cap it. I would call them and see if the cap can withstand pressure, or what other advice they have for not using it. but like you say, the cartridge is probably old and empty now.

as far as patching a hole in pvc, I've done some pvc work like irrigation and installing roof solar panels, but I'm not familiar with any way to patch a hole. the easiest way to connect two pipes imho (if you decide to cut it) is with a compression coupling.
