My Aquaview 17 has a leak from the very bottom.
chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.lomart-parts.com/manuals/pumps-filters/Aquaview-AS_pg9-12.pdf This is the manaul.
This is a picture. I can't see underneath the filter when it's running, but I can say it's not coming from #9, it's not running down the sides of the filter in any ways. I believe it's coming from #6/#7.
#6/#7 is a screw and metal washer. There is no rubber washer. I tightened it but that didn't help. It was working before winter, but now it leaks.
FWIW I'm new to pool ownership and there were a few days during winter where my pool top layer froze b/c the pump wasn't running. (The circuit tripped).
I inspected the bottom of the Sand filter but didn't see any holes.
The amount of water coming out if I was guessing would be 1 gallon every 4 to 6 minutes.
Thoughts?

I'm not personally familiar with the base units those filter sit on, but it sounds like you may need to drain it and flip it over to inspect if you haven't already. If the base is in fact cracked from the freeze when power went out, that would mean a new filter since you cannot safely repair a vessel like that which operates under such extreme pressure (safety). If you feel it's something like like just a screw fitting, maybe post a pic or two so can see it better?
