Just noticed a crack in a fitting that goes in to the filter housing. Leaking pretty bad. Going to call a pool guy tomorrow as I’m leaving town for work for 4 weeks. Is there anything I can use as a short term fix?

The only thing that can be done, unfortunately, is A) shut the system down until the repair is made, or B) allow it to drip (not a good idea). A new Hayward bulkhead fitting will be required to be plumbed in. As long as the filter-tank can be moved it is not a particularly difficult repair. A 2" pipe extender and a 2" 90 should be all that is needed. Don't be surprised at the cost of parts and the bulkhead may only be available as a pair.
Does the nut say S200R?
Nut does says s200r.
Do I really need the faucet bib that is installed? Not sure I’ve ever used it.
Much appreciated on the parts. Already ordered.

Any thoughts on why I have the s200r nut? Appears that nut is different from the parts list above for my filter housing.
Mystery solved. I had my filter housing model wrong. It’s a c5520. So first parts you sent are correct. Ordering now.
Do you think I need the inline hose bib?

That hose bib is usually there to drain excess water, at a rate you can control better, from the pool if needed. Its before the filter so you don't throw away filtered water. It's not bad to have, but if you have never used it, leave it out.
You might want parts 20 and 21 the O-ring and bulkhead fitting in case you need them.
