I have a leak on my Polaris booster pump. I found a hairline crack where the pipe connects to the front housing. I am ordering this replacement part:
Here is my main question:
My pump equipment is downhill from my pool. Water siphons out when anything is disconnected. I have ball valves on the pipes for my skimmers and wall drain, but water still siphons out even when these are closed. I do not have ball valves on the lines for the returns or the polaris booster pump. I've attached a picture of my setup. How can I keep the water from siphoning out when the booster is disconnected, so I can replace the part?
Second question: what is the recommended sealant for the quick-connect threads - teflon tape or clear silicone? Will I also need to apply some type of sealant to the surface of the housing when it is reinstalled?
