Default Darren needs help with an air leak in his system - I MADE IT!

For some reason, I thought you weren't supposed to use teflon tape when
dealing with threaded PVC piping ...

can't remember it and can't seem to find it online. But it basically is a
threaded PVC pipe that allows you to take your pump out etc without gluing
up PVC pipe to it. The bad thing is that if you tighten too much it leaks
... tighten too little it leaks. It is hard to tighten because it gets
slippery etc.


Teflon tape cures leaking through the thread.
