Where can I find a replacement for this?

Hi there fellow pool lovers!

I have a very old (30+ years!) pentair-nautilus filter.

A couple of weeks ago I noticed a crack on top housing of theh greeds.

I went to my friendly pool supplier and they gave me a replacement.

I've been trying to open the pool for a week and the water is not getting better.

Last night I looked closely and discovered that the new housing has an extra hole. so it is not good.

Anyone knows where can I get an exsact match for this old clunker.

I include a picture so you know what I'm talking about.

The new housing is black and I placed a marker showing the extra whole.

I would apreciate any help you can provide.

Cheers!

I think that hole is for an air bleed which your filter doesn't have. I'd just plug the hole with silicone or epoxy and use it.

Found a few on ebay, $75+ dollars.

I would try plugging the hole with a stainless bolt, rubber grommets and a nut, if space allowed. If not, silicone or epoxy would probably work.
