Roughen up the outer surface a little and apply epoxy Like J B Weld or similar both inside and outside.
Usually, there is a cylinder shaped canister near the pump. You have to remove top and lift filter out and clean thoroughly with hose.
because the leak releases pressure?
You cannot caulk a swimming pool filter of either stainless steel, fiberglass or plastic. Does this filter have a crack in the main body? Is this filter leaking at the flange or where the two main components come together? How old is the unit? It may be covered under warranty. Ken
Chemicals, especially chlorine, should not be allowed to sit on a pool's liner for any period of time. This will cause bleaching and could damage your liner.
Any particles in your pool can cause cloudiness - for example, dead algae. To eliminate it, most pool stores sell a "clarifier" - the one I sell is blue - which will get the particles out of your pool, or "alum" or "floc", which will bind the particles together, making them heavier, dropping them down to the bottom of your pool. You can then vacuum them out with your filter set to waste. If you have a DE filter, and you add a white powder to your skimmer sometimes, it is possible that your filter is leaking DE back into your pool and you need to replace the grids inside it.
It's accessed from the TOP of the engine under a removable (twist) cover on the passenger side of the engine cover. Note that it's also not a regular filter. It's more like a (water) pool filter cartridge that reuses the removable canister.

I'm assuming you are using a sand filter. First, is the pump and filter hooked up corretly? Pumping the water through the filter the wrong way will blow sand into your pool. Is the control valve in the correct position? If it's in between positions it might let some sand into the pool. Is the control valve cracked or broken? Self explanitory.
If a pool was leaking for 12 hours and leaked out 78 gallons of water in total, then it would of leaked out 6.5 gallons every hour. This is a math problem.
Alum is a floculent and these are often used to settle excessive amounts of dirt to the bottom of pools the are available from pool shops. It sounds like you will need to replace the laterals in your sand filter first so that you don't have this problem in the future. Take care vacuum the settled dirt and flock to waste do not put it through the filter.
The cleaning schedules varies from filter to filter, but a general guideline on any swimming pool filter is to take a reading when the filter is clean, then clean the pool filter when the pressure rises about 10 psi.
Yes you can! We have a pool and my dad fixed ours.
