Pool Pilot autopilot manifold cracked emergency repair or bypass recommendation

[michaelrj9]

The top manifold where the tri sensor goes into cracked. I can't run the pump like that as too much water is being sprayed out.

A new one was ordered today but probably won't be here until at least mid next week or end of the week. I already checked local shops around here with no luck.

Can anyone think of what can be used or done to fix it temporary for a week?

I thought a couple couplings and a short piece of pipe but it looks like there is no room to use any of it if I cut the top portion of the manifold out.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Michael

Sorry to hear of your troubles.

A few pictures would really help.

Here is a pic of the manifold, the crack is right at the set screw hole. The crack is 11/2-2" long.

not sure if I could use a 2" cap or if the tee is a weird hard to find size. Then maybe some glue or flex tape for the rest of the crack.

I really wanted to remove the cracked tee and replace it but don't know what fittings I need cause the right side has the special fitting that attaches to the cell. I don't think home depot or lowes will have that type of fitting with the o-ring.
