Hello, my booster pump is leaking from the area that is circled (not sure what it is called). No matter how much I tighten it, there is no seal between the part thats connected to the hose and the part that says hand tighten only. Any suggestions? Thank you. image0.png
 
Welcome to TFP! :wave: That pump looks brand new. Is it? That is the union nut fitting where water comes out. It should have an O-ring in there to help seat it against the top of the outlet fitting. You might want to check to ensure the O-ring is there and perhaps give it a light coating of pool lobe (NOT petroleum jelly).
 
What model booster pump is that and what is the model of the cleaning gadget screwed onto it that is leaking?
