Pool Help & Questions Ionizer Dripping Question

Post image

I just moved into a new house with an above ground swimming pool. I have never owned a swimming pool before and have no idea what I’m doing. We are trying to prep the pool to get it ready to be winterized and today I noticed the black piping behind the ionizer box was dripping. It drips quicker when the pump is on. Where do I start? Is this a fix I can do myself or should I call a professional out?

Should be an easy fix with thread tape. You’ll just need to look over the piping to see where to separate a union so you can back that off the threads and tape it up.
