Crack where pressure gauge goes Intex Sand Filter

[Newerabs]

So while I was trying to change out my pressure filter I think I over tightened and I cracked the area around it (see pictures) now it's leaking really bad. Can this be fixed or am I hosed?

That's a pretty bad crack. You could try putting some sealant in it and a pipe clamp around it and give it a shot, but I think you likely need to replace it.

It's toast.

Not sure if Intex sells replacement multiport valves, but I hope so.

Intex does sell the replacement part but sold out. Can't find it anywhere online. Oh well, the pool was fun while it lasted!

Watch craiglslist. Someone else might be upgrading or throwing in the towel and selling or giving away a filter.
