This is leaking from where the screw holes are at. Pool tech said it can't be fixed.. anyone have any creative solutions?

It almost looks like if i replace the valve body coming off the filter, it will fall apart though.

That crack above the thread looks long.
For a temporary solution you can try either of the below. I was more successful with the Plumbers Epoxy on a cracked thread.
However you should order a replacement piece - this looks like a backwash valve.

You could try Plast-Aid, but most likely a new valve is needed. Plast-Aid doesn't just stick like a glue but actually becomes a part of most any plastic it is applied to. It is very difficult to successfully repair a pressure leak. There are too many cracks in that valve body.
