IDK what you have. Pumps I'm familiar with have threaded fittings, with most installs putting in unions to make replacement possible. If it's a union that's leaking, might be loose or need a new seal. |

If that doesn't work, replace seals. If you aren't used to doing this stuff: Turn off pump. Only work on pool stuff when stores are open. Things can go wrong and you may need to buy parts. -- Dan Espen |

Reply back here with information left out; make and model numbers of your filter, pump and motor. Did your pipe freeze?! |

Reading comprehension? one pipe "exiting" the pool pump (and one ingress pipe, not discussed). |

All that means to me is that there are two pipes coming from the pump, like every pool pump has. I agree *water* exits via one and enters via the other, but that wasn't what she was talking about. I'm taking bets we won't here back from her anyway. |

That is the point. She should not DIY this herself, but she needs to call a pool guy.
