I have a four season old AG pool-- The return line was leaking sporadically last season-- not that much- but being a perfectionist I noticed the cork was looking old so I bought the $4 gasket and pulled it apart-- I reassembled it and filled the pool-- and now it leaks a drip every 2 seconds.... The big nut is tight-- I cant tighten it any more-- (used pliers but didnt torque the H*ll out of it- but I cant hand loosen it at this point)-- I can see the leak is coming through the threads at the bottom of the big nut and it looks like there might be a very small seepage at the cork/rubber-- I was thinking of siliconing threads that the big nut tightens onto and see if that works?? Any hints on nipping this in the bud? Draining pool is a PITA, but no a huge deal bc i only raised it up enough to circulate the water to open the pool so its still lowish--- I just dont want to have to do this again and again..
Thanks...
