How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and relieve system pressure before attempting any repair.
- Assess extent: Clean and dry the area to see the full length of the crack.
- Temporary patch: For very small seepage, a two-part epoxy rated for pool plastics can be used as a temporary fix, but this is not a permanent solution.
- Plan replacement: Order the correct Zodiac pump housing or fitting and schedule a time to cut and re-plumb as needed.
- Prevent recurrence: In freeze-prone areas, winterize the pump and plumbing properly by draining and blowing out lines.
Significant cracks require replacement of the affected housing or fittings to ensure safety and reliability.
