Leaking filter to pipe connection

[Jesusfreak]

My fiancé’s pool filter is leaking where the PVC piping connects to it. She has had a pool guy service her equipment, and I was able to meet him yesterday. He replaced the sand in the filter recently, but evidently something plastic cracked and now it is leaking. I watched him yesterday make an attempt to stop the leak, but it is now worse. I brought it to his attention that it looked like an O-ring was bulging out in one place and on the opposite side you couldn’t see the O ring. I would like to try a better repair Any thoughts, short of having to replace the filter? Thank you

Nothing is going to stick the that polyethylene tank. If it can be repaired, the sand will have to be removed and the part replaced if it is available.
Can't tell the model of that Hayward filter.

Does $1,100 sound reasonable for a replacement sand filter? Or should we go to a cartridge filter or something else? Thank you

Which filter are we talking about? Is that an installed price? I like sand filters. I don't have one because I have no where for the backwash water to go.

Sand filter installed $1,100
Cartridge filter installed $1,800
I was told the cartridge filters were better (removed smaller particles/easier to clean and maintain).

I would like to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

Which filters? What size/brand? What you are saying is they want to charge me $xxx.xx for a car. Without make, model and year the price could be good or bad.
