Why is my pool filter leaking from the top?

Where does the O-ring go on a pool filter?
The Pool Filter O-ring should be in a groove in the collar of the filter head. If it’s stretched like this one, it may fall out of the groove – a good indication that it’s time to be replaced. Roll the O-ring out of the groove and off the filter head collar.
