Jandy ST-T Body Leak

[benjydog]

Hello,

I believe i have a crack underneath my Jandy ST-T filter. The reason i suspect a leak is that there is always water behind the filter on my pad. I do not see any other sources where the water could be coming from.

Is it possible to fix a crack?

I know water is leaking from "somewhere" but itcurrently it does not appear to be impacting the pool water level at a noticable level. Can i just leave it for now or because the filter is pressurized, would there be concern of it suddenly getting worse?

If the filter body is cracked it should be replaced. I never recommend repairing a pressure vessel.

I would spend some time trying to locate the leak just because it would bug me not knowing.

I'll see what I can do. The darn thing is pretty heavy and I don't see any easy ways to remove the sand.
