Hi, first time pool owner. Got the INTEX QX2600 Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater Systems and it put up yesterday. Filled the pool overnight and now there is water dripping from the connection to the leaf basket to the hose. I have verified the O ring is in good and it’s screwed on good. I do not have the pump on yet, waiting for it to finish filling. Help!

The top connection?
Check for any cracks - also lubricate the oring. & all the orings in the system.

Yes, no cracks, it’s leaking from the bottom. I will try lubricating. Thank you for responding

if you have extras you can also try swapping the oring out for another. Sometimes they can just be wonky. Or even another hose end (like turn it around) so you can isolate if its the hose or the pump side.
