We replaced our pressure gage for our sand filter (Hayward S244T yesterday) and there is a leak where the gage is when the filter is running. I have been reading online and this forum and it appears that it is not the problem with the gage but the air valve, probably o- ring (?). Does anyone have this same sand filter and can recommend what we can look for? This sand filter is only 2 years old. Last time we had this same issue with our old filter and we tightened the gage and caused the mutiport valve near the gage to crack (we were able to stop the leak with i think epoxy I dont really remember but don’t want it to happen again since it’s a fairly new filter. Thank you.
