Hello to all,
Have a 4 cartridge filtering system. They are all 3 yrs old. Clean them about once every 7-9 months.
The integrity of the filter pleats, the material holding the pleats together are all good. My pool/filter pump running on 2950RPM/startup is still in the green range under 12psi, and operating range of 1750-2550 is 8psi. However, the blue soft plastic ends have a few splits in them, no more than 3/4" and only 1-2 splits in all 4 of them.
Is there anything I can use to seal up these splits? I googled the JB Weld for water applications, and it's either great or horrible. Not sure of the FC of 4-5 and pH of 7.2-7.8 would either do anything to the JB weld vs just straight water.
Has anyone used anything that has worked, or has a better idea? It's Sat of ending spring break and I wanted to clean filters before spring/summer begins. I now also use the hairnets and that has helped immensely, so this will be the first clean while using them.
Thank you very much,
tstex
