Plumbing Leak Please Help!!!

[birddawg]

Good evening, I just filled up my new Innovative Marine 75 EXT and now have a leak (I think) in one of my return nozzles. Everytime I try to run the tank and get water moving on the right return nozzle it has a slow drip of water no matter how tight i get the return nozzle. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it? First time using a plumber tank so I need help!! Is there a way to glue it? Any suggestions would be awesome. Thank you. I have attached the video down below.

can't view video. but you shouldn't need to tighten beyond strength. best guess is your o-ring isn't seated properly. you should only need to hand tighten. I'd drain and recheck seals. assuming new tank.

Yes, everything outside the tank and not above the sump should be assembled with pvc cement.

Looks to be a glued connection. Stop flow and apply OATEY Blue PVC Cement which is thicker and will seal this. Other option is to cut pipe and glue on a threaded union,,,, which you can disconnect if needed without cutting in the future.

another option is to let it dry and silicon it.

O-Ring looks to be good, same as the other side. I put some brs super glue and some 2 part epoxy on it for the moment. Do you think that will be good or should I go ahead and get the PVC cement you suggested? I appreciate

I should probably do that, I bought the Innovative Marine complete set that says everything is pre-sealed, but obviously I had a spot that wasn’t

If it holds, should be fine. Place a small bucket under in case it drips again in your absence

Wow I just bought a 75 ext as well, and the return bulk head in the backflow is slowly leaking water. O rings are tight, and looks seal until I start the water again.
