I bought a used RODI unit from here some time ago and just now got around to setting it up. I noticed one of the tubes was broken off of the membrane housing. Not really thinking it would work (it didnt) i tried caulking it back together.

If its fixable, what should i use to glue this back together?

Also the first canister (sediment filter) leaks profusely and the O ring looks fine, could it just not be tight enough on there?

Any help is appreciated
 
If you think you can somehow unscrew the broken off base, then the replacement part is a 1/4” John Guest or Murlok quick connect to MNPT elbow...

If the broken base won’t come off, you’ll need the new elbow piece, the 2 good elbow pieces and a new RO membrane housing...

Snapped clean off, no way of getting that out. Ordered a new housing and elbow :/
 
Hey, I just noticed on the specs of the membrane housing that they use a 1/4” push connect x 1/8” MNPT elbow...

Yeah, i got what they recommended on the page for the membrane housing so it should be the right one :)
