i am wanting to us on the inside of a pool filter under 35 psi and underwater. should this epoxy work for that application?

I'm not a glue expert but this is the best epoxy for plastics I ever try. I heard about application for sail boat ballast in salt water. Swimming pool job looks easy to compare with. Important to keep surfaces perfectly clean and adhesive (surface must have some fine structure for glue to adhere, not be shiny or glossy). Some plastics required flame surface activation. Because glue when cured stays flexible, water pressure will only help to seal connection.

I would call G/flex customer service on that. I would think that it would work if it is a crack, if it is a hole or bigger you may need a patch out of suitable material.

this is a good product. it is strong and flexible and makes it a a very good adhesive for material that requires flexibility. i use it for backing my bows, and it has never failed me.

I'm sorry I can't give you a definitive answer to your question but I have used this many times on custom knives I have made, holding the handle scales on, knives that see good hard use. From being dropped while hiking to using them to bang a nail that is hanging out on a wood floor. The sheer strength and adhesion of this stuff for me has been great!!!

I would say that the only reason it may not work well for you would be the strength of your pump, otherwise I don't see why not. I have a vinyl inground pool.

I would give it a try. I used it successfully underwater to repair a large crack. Under water it acts a lot like drywall mud. I used a small taping knife to apply and worked it into the concrete. The product did shrink a little when it cured.

It's not that type of epoxy. I don't think that using it in that way would work. It's more like a waterproof sealant than a sticky glue.

I would not recommend it to be used in water or you may get a paste from it. It is very fine powder and I am not sure how it would work in a pool filter

I've used it on the pvc in pool plumbing with great success. Under high pressure as well. If the skimmer is the right kind of plastic it will do the job for sure.

My pool was 10K gallons and the filter worked fine for me. I think this would be a good selection for your application.

I use this product for 12 ft deep in ground pool and it works great, not sure about an above ground pool. This might depend on the material which the pool is made out of.

I don't know, but our pool is a chlorinated pool. This is a carbon seal so it should work for any application.

It should work very well as i used it on my 2700 PSI system and was very pleased with results. Regards

I don't think so. Where is the leak and what kind of leak is it? I was not impressed. If the leak is under water, i think under-water epoxy is the best joce. It is used on swimming pools and I used it on a leaking pool light connector. It worked great.

if you have an above ground/ standard depth, yes - should be fine; it's a great filter - worth every penny.

I would not say this is made for that purpose. It is primarily for a sump pump and that is the reason I bought it. I think a pool with with the chemicals would be too corrosiveand this pump is made to be submerged during operation.

Sara - I seriously doubt that this filter would work for your particular application as it works on a "siphoning" principal which would mean that the intake tube would have to be submerged at all times allowing no air whatsoever to impede the flow of water. Additionally, the filtering unit must sit lower than the tank to work properly.

Yes it will work just great, I am using it on a 19ft x 9ft x 54in pool with a salt water filter, they are compatible. I checked with the manufacturer.

I used it in a slightly larger inflatable pool and it worked well. Still had to add a little chemicals on and off

I expect it would work at lower pressure. I would not guess at a lower limit but cannot imagin any damage to the unit as a result.
