Drain Plug Leak

[JRossSter]

Hey all- quick question.

I took apart filter to clean cartridges ( Jandy ) and drained the water.

Since I put the drain plug back in, it leaks, regardless of how tight I hand tighten it.

There doesn’t appear to be an O Ring on the plug ( pics attached ). Not sure if there ever was one.. any guidance here to stop leak would be greatly appreciated!

What is this a picture of? Not sure what I am looking at. Thank you!

The same part with an O-ring.

You need the O-ring.

Ah got it Thank you! . so I just need to find out where to order that part and hopefully that fixes the issue.

It probably fell off.

Look around for the O-ring.

Also, you only remove the cap, you don't remove the whole fitting to drain.
