Possible Causes

Loose union nut, Damaged union O-ring, Misaligned plumbing, Cracked union body

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and close valves before loosening unions. Expect some water spillage.

  • Tighten unions:
    • Hand-tighten the union nuts on both suction and discharge sides.
  • Inspect O-rings:
    • Loosen the union, remove and inspect the O-ring for cuts or flattening.
    • Replace with Jandy-compatible union O-rings if damaged.
  • Check alignment:
    • Ensure plumbing is not putting side-load on the union; adjust supports if necessary.
  • Replace cracked unions:
    • If the union body is cracked, cut out and replace with a new Jandy union kit.
