I just noticed today that there is a slow leak at the base of the pressure gauge on top of my Pentair cartridge filter housing. Is it a simple matter of replacing the thread tape on the filter gauge?

Sure. Turn off the power, then when you remove the gauge you'll need to put a piece of tape or something over the top or else all the air will escape (no real big deal if that happens though). Wrap a few windings (though not too many) of the thread tape around the gauge and screw it back in. Should be good to go. How old is the gauge? I recently replaced my old one with an oil-filled that has a larger face - so much easier to read - especially to determine half-pound (or even quarter) psi changes.
