Leaking Pentair Filter cartridge

Hello. I have a drip leak in my pentair filter cartridge. I am guessing it is the rubber ring gasket but wanted to get some confirmation. Tiy

What model number filter is leaking?

The part number on the sticker points to a single cartridge clean and clear, either 150 or 200. If i had to guess, 150 because FL.

Check the condition of the O-ring

Lube the O-ring with Pool Lube - Further Reading

Make sure the top seats firmly and the locking ring clicks in place

Pentaitr has a video on their website showing how to clean the filter and reassemble it…

Cleaned everything. Inspected the o ring. No cracks, etc. even rotated it a bit. Re-lubed. Now I have two drips, both near a locking point. Basically at 3 and 6 o’clock. The unit is 1.5 years old. Think it’s the O-Ring or a weak locking ring?

1.5 years old. The filter come with a new pool build?

Make a warranty claim with the builder or Pentair and let them figure it out.

Or just put a new o-ring on it.
