PVC fittings become brittle with UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycling over multiple Canadian seasons, and a hairline crack at the fitting threads can leak steadily even when the rest of the filter is sound. Replacing the fitting restores a tight seal without needing to replace the entire tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePondMax PF4800 and PF7200 Pressure Filters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" (5 cm) PVC connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSchedule 40 PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrain the filter and depressurize the plumbing before removing the damaged fitting.
