Thanks @mknauss @Dirk - I understand that part of water always being there.
I will try to scope out removal of the giant box as I dont use it, also its manually chlorinated pool and not SWG - unless I understood something wrong
@1poolman1 - yes I see a hole drilled, I was not sure about the reason to why someone did it before we acquired the house, now makes sense.
for the leak, I have taped it using flex tape and hose clamp for now, as I had those tool handy. If that doesnt not help I will go the coupling route.
