Hey guys, so just moved into a new house with a pool, slowly trying to figure everything out here. So long story short, pool vacuum was not working the way it should so I pulled out the filters and cleaned them (they were REALLY dirty) Put everything back together and now it is leaking around the clamp. I can't seem to find any markings or model numbers on this thing, it certainly looks similar to all the ones on youtube but I think it would be nice to know the exact model. Before opening it up there were no leaks but I'm wondering if that's just because it never got enough pressure to leak out. I took as many pictures as I thought would help but I can take more if need be. I'm unsure about how much to tighten the clamp. I don't want to break it and from what I remember when I opened it, it was nowhere near this tight when I pulled it off before but now it leaks. Here are the pictures:
Full view:
Here is how much room is left on clamp, you can see on this side it's really snug
This is the side it leaks on, the clamp is not nearly on as tight over here but I have tried 3 times now to reseat it while getting this side as close as possible but it never seems to work.
