Hayward pro series W3S166T sand filter leak

[joehoran317]

My Hayward pro series sand filter tank has sprung a pin point leak on the seam of the tank. Is there any way to repair this? Or is replacement my only option.
18' round × 4' ag pool 7,600 gallons.

Has to be replaced. Contact Hayward and see if they will ship another to you, free of charge.
There were several folks with out of warranty leaks who got free replacement from them, with this type of filter.
