How to deal with leaking pipes??

[kamiru]

Anyone knows what to use for re-enforcing the pvc pipes? Super glue or silicon????

[Rocky99]

plumbers use epoxy i think. cos it works also underwater. use any aquaz or deltec, should work.

you want reinforce the PVC pipe?? For what purpose?

If you mean to connect the PVC pipe to another PVC joint (eg. an elbow) then get the usual PVC glue.. it's cheap and seals the two joints together permanently.. not to mention it's fast acting...

Think kamiru is talking about pipes leaking at the joint. Once the PVC glue is not applied properly, then leak will occur. All you need is drain the pipes and then make a cut to take out the fitings where it is leaking and then use a pipe connector (in and out same size) and redo the system with new pipes and fittings....old fittings cannot be re-use, have to throw away.
