cartridge filter nozzle leaking

[rachel🌊]

hello! our cartridge filter has been leaking from the nozzle for a while and my partner attempted to fix it today. it’s a sta-rite filter.

here’s what he’s tried so far:
- used a threaded male adapter and teflon tape to connect to the filter
- tried bonding with rubber cement

neither of those worked - any other ideas?

Try the standard drain plug that came with the filter...

I hope the threads in the filter were not damaged, as that will require the replacement of the filter bottom.
