Just now, when my pump is already stopped, I noticed that my NS48 stainless steel DE filter was leaking water. I can hear the water dripping sound from inside. Checked all the visible and common leaking places, metal clamps, air pressure relief valve, the inlet pipping, backwash valve and pipe also the drain plug. The plug had some wetness, so I tightened it a bit, and the amount of wetness around drain plug should not cause the frequency of water dropping sound (2-3s per drop). I have a new filter grid assembly, although had to use the old rubber o-ring for the metal clamp (new one is too big, and leak).
What could be the leak spot? The dripping site must be inside the base as I could not locate anywhere around the tank.
Thanks a lot.
