Sand Filter Repair

I have an Esther Williams 1800 above ground sand filter that developed a leak towards the upper neck in the seem. Is there anyway to fix it? I have tried JB weld but has not worked. Any suggestions?



Hi Brian. The only way I would know of to fix the filter would be a fiberglass repair kit applied to the inside of the tank. There may be easier ways, like JB Weld, but they would have to be used on the inside as opposed to the outside.

Using the tank off a good used system is an option also. A search on Ebay or Craigs List may come up with some replacement tank options.
