Hi very new here. New pool owner. Only my 4th season. Also new to being a widow. I dint know what I'm doing. I hired someone to open and close my above ground pool last season. At $250 each time to open and same to close, I can't afford, so did it myself with YouTube.
My filter was leaking on top. I didn't have the proper tools but I borrowed and fixed that problem. Now I noticed it's leaking at the base of the filter. Is this normal?
I have a hayward perflex EC40C90.
Please help. I've been with my husband since I'm 15 years old. He unexpectedly died Oct 2020 of misdiagnosed cancer. No life insurance and $20,000 in burial costs pretty much, wiped me clean. I really can't afford to call in a professional. I'm a young grandmother helping raise my 6 year old granddaughter who enjoys the pool so much. I just can't afford to keep adding water because of this leak.
Thank you in advance

Very sorry to hear about your husband's passing. 
But when it comes to pool water and equipment we have lots of folks here happy to help. For the filter leaking, can you post a pic or two of the area please?
