Feeder Leak

[jovian1998]

Please see the attached picture. Is it fixable? or should I just permanently close the connection to the feeder? I'm also asking for advise on how to best permanently close/seal the pvc.

Thank you

Most people just take and connect one of the hoses from the inlet connection to the outlet connection, effectively bypassing the feeder and sealing off the holes.

Thank you for the reply. But doesn't that mean some water will bypass the filter?

also I still kinda want to use the feeder. I'm a BBB enthusiast, but I think it's still nice to have the option of using Chlorine Tab when appropriate.

Some water does pass thru the tubing but it's a small amount. It's hard to tell from the pic exactly where the leak is.

If the leak is coming from the lid, you can buy a replacement gasket. I have had to do that more than once.
