Epoxy for pool filter

I have a S180T sand filter. The flange clamp split and is leaking. It is made from Noryl, a PPE resin.

I have ordered the part and it will be in within a few days. Is there any epoxy/glue that I can use to fix this for a short time that will hold against the pressure and water?

I can also drill a few holes and screw it together but it will really need a strong epoxy/glue to hold and seal it. I remember this type of materiel is tough to glue together but I am hoping someone will have some ideas.

Thanks in advance.

You can try the JB Weld for plastic or a two part epoxy glue.

I have used JB Weld per the above... and Atlas 2 part, EpoxyBond. Both worked fine.

If you're talking about the flange where the valve mounts on top of the tank.... I doubt any glue/epoxy would work. Maybe a big worm gear clamp to squeeze it together.

Curiosity question about water temps

E

EliasMcDaniel on Jul 10, 2018

The heat wave that covered N.E. Ohio last week got me thinking... What is the "normal"pool water temperature for people living in, say, Phoenix, etc...? I had to leave my solar cover off for a week because the water was just too dang warm. (87-88 degrees) Luckily, the 65-70 degree nights help out. Do they even use a cover in warmer climates? And can I assume the dry air in the desert southwest makes you add water every day? :)

Replacing Jandy filter

Replacing Jandy CL460 filter base, inlet and outlet pipes feed through here. I already replaced the cover and now the base is leaking so have the part on order. Am I better off leaving this job for the pool company or is it simple enough to DIY? There are 2 big threaded fittings that say "hand tighten only" so I figure how hard can it be? I just don't know how easy it will be to get the old fittings off and don't want to do more damage.
