My 15 year old {Hayward C5000?) filter just recently started leaking at a point between the upper and lower body parts. I got a replacement O-ring, cleaned upper and lower mating surfaces and installed new O-ring but it still leaks in the same place on the body and rotating upper does not help, Figure that I have a crack somewhere on the body even though I can't see any faults. If I need to replace, are there any recommendations for a ~ 525 sq ft cartridge filter. Hopefully I am not overlooking something obvious regarding leak.
 
Update...good news, managed to snag a new Hayward C5030 from a local dealer. Although Hayward is out of NJ, the filter is marked "assembled in USA" and is subject to the parts shipping problems we are having now. Installation due for Monday. Happy Camper :)
