drock59 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I busted the following piece of my calcium reactor. http://www.marinedepot.com/Replacement_Korallin_C_1502_3002_Inlet_Assembly_with_Bubble_Counter_(Einlauf)_Calcium_Reactor_Replacement_Parts-Korallin-KL3111-FICRRP-vi.html I dont really feel like paying 65 bucks for PVC. Does anyone know of an epoxy or glue that is strong as well as water tight? It appears to be a clean break, so that should help. Another option would be to dose Kalk for a while. Is it ok to put Kalk in your ATO water? Perhaps it would be better to bite the bullet. Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Can't you use Weldon? Hey Dan, bummer. I have gone a whole week without you sending me a text message/or email. Are you alright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newfisher Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Find out from the MFG.what type of plastic it is made from. Get some weld/glue from Tap or Multicraft for that type of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thats CPVC i think you are talking about reef165 Dan they make a multipurpose glue that i like to use. Its sold with the PVC glue, but it works on ABS, CPVC, PVC, and pretty much all other plastic type piping in houses now days. Its sets up hotter, so it can melt all types of plastic pipe. I'd give that a try or try some weldon 16 like suggested above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
