Question:
Answers:
Fiberglass and resin or contact pool supply places and they may have a kit for the purpose.
buy a new one.
Melt it shut...use a strong waterproof tape...or buy a new one.
Epoxy Resin,
Dry it out and use plastic model cement (available at your local hobby shop) for the repair.
you can take a small bit of plastic or rubber sheet from your old tubes and you can paste that on your filter box firmly with a waterproof glue.
it really works.
duck tape??
You can find a product at your local home depot, or WalMart called "shoo goo" or "marine goo", these items are formulated to stick to most any surface like vinyle or plastic and are good for underwater applications.
These are also called by other names such as sportsmans goo, and are all basically the same product.
I'd suggest epoxy resin adhesive too.
Assuming you are in the UK look for brand names like Araldite or Permabond and a host of others from supermarkets and car accessory shops.
Or silicone rubber.
Alternatively heat a large flatbladed screwdriver up in a gas flame and gently melt the plastic over the crack, then further seal with epoxy or silicone.
In the long term you need to know what type of "plastic". Generally speaking, I have found "Duck" tape to be helpful underwater.
You can buy a bottle of plastic cement from a plumbers yard. It will repair almost any plastic pipe in the house so I assume it will fix your fillter.
