Our pool was loosing water and we found the pipe leak (this pipe returns water from the pool filter to the pool), so now i need some advice on how to fix it.
On this picture you can see the pipe leaking water (crack is marked with red). Unfortunately, the leak is on that "T" connection and close to a concrete structure, so it's kinda hard to work there. Also, to the right, you can see a sprinkler, which works with a different pipe system and i obviously don't want to touch it.
On this second picture you can see the concrete structure, which is cracked and went down a bit (After last year's earthquake here in Chile), that probably caused the pipe to crack.
I would appreciate if someone could tell me which would be the best way to fix this. I've thought of just cutting the 3 pipes coming out of the "T" connection and replace the "T" pipe, but it's kind of hard to work so close to that concrete. I also thought of maybe adding some 90's to the "T" sides to bring the "T" connection away from the concrete... or maybe i should just get rid of that concrete piece ?
