Suction line leaking

[Ctefanie]

Can anyone help with this?
I have a pentagram above ground filter/pipes (pool is in ground)
My suction line is leaking at the metal nut joint. I have a video, but this won’t allow me to upload.

You can share the video to youtube and post that link.

Here’s a pic at least

What's the question? You'll need to fix or have fixed that joint. Hopefully it can be repaired without removing a lot of other plumbing. Looks threaded did you try just tightening it? Carefully of course so as not to make it worse.

Yes. Sorry. It’s leaking at the circle- if tightening doesn’t help- do you think a putty or something could help?

Hard to say but I doubt it. It looks like a pressure line to me not suction. It's coming out of the swg, right? That's like a 5 minute repair though cutting out the leak and putting in a slip joint.
