chrisdavid08 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm taking care of my parents pool while they are out of town. I came over to there house today to find water rushing out of the Jandy Filter (Model CL580). My dad said he cleaned the filters before he left. I followed the instruction manual on removing the clamp and top of tank. I checked the O-ring. It appears it was just recently lubed when he cleaned the filters. I put everything carefully back together as the instruction manual said. I turned back on the pump system and the leak is now worse. It's leaking at the area where the clamp meets on both sides. I got the clamp to meet within 1/16" of an inch. I repeated this process twice and still have a leak. I have since killed the breakers and scheduled a pool guy to come out tomorrow. MY BIG QUESTION is, what do you think I could be doing wrong? My dad takes VERY VERY good care of his pool. He is on a cruise so getting a hold of him is impossible. Any tips, tricks, or techniques that I could try? Has anyone else had this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolGuyNJ Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Likely to be the filter's belly ring, the o-ring between the halves. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdavid08 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Pool guy came today. Although the O-ring looked good to me, it was worn. He replaced it and it works great now. Thanks for your advice. You were right. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
