Now here’s your hosts – Matt and Rob.

“I’m thinking of trying my own pool filter repair because, I have a crack in my filter lid. Is there anything I can do to patch it?” Chris from Kalamazoo, Michigan

Well Chris, we don’t recommend patching cracked pool filter lids because patches lead to blowouts.  The patch and the no damaged filter lid under too much pressure and if for some reason that patch loses its integrity while you’re not home, the resulting crack (possibly, now bigger) could drain your pool. If the pool’s main drain is open it could drain your pool completely  or it could possibly drop below the skimmer, then your pumps running dry aruin your pool pump. So we don’t recommend trying to patch it. I know some people have used J-B Weld or other types of epoxies, but we just don’t recommend it.

The chances of you being the lucky one to get a cracked pool filter lid to last a few months are there, but not likely.
