Does this Filter Manifold need to be replaced?

[Foody]

Hello all,

While I was doing a cleaning of the filter grids, I saw this. It appears the top "cap" part of the manifold has a slight gap, which seems to be bigger than what a tight seal should be.

Is this an issue or am I thinking too much?


Thanks!

Doesn't appear to be any DE in the gap, so water and DE are not flowing there. If it concerns you, you could coat it with a layer of PVC glue or silicone sealant, but it doesn't look like it needs it.

Thank you for the insight!
