So... what did you use on the tape? Yo did not even explain WHAT you did.
@@kriswingert1662 that's Teflon tape and silicone I used. I shouldn't assume that people know what I'm putting on. Its like the hot coffee thing I guess.
Learned this from an older tech. It works.
The link for the silicone will not work for me - I am in Canada so maybe that’s the issue? Could you please advise what type of silicone to use?
@@AnitaLoppie-n1j go to Canadian Tire and get the GE 100% waterproof silicone
You should put what you use some of us. Don’t know I’m assuming that that is plumber tape I’m not sure what gel you put on it. You might want to add that.
In the Video Description.
The person who installed my pool pump put blue stuff on the little circle fitting and I can’t get it off. Am I fked?
@@Alie_doe if it's the blue clue, you can get the fitting off still. Might have to use some muscles.
A huge thank you for this video!! 👍👍👍
@@LuKasAV6 thanks for the support
Never seen anyone put anything over Teflon tape. I have a lot of accounts with the same exact leak at pump unions. Starting to learn repairs. Doing maintenance mostly.
it works. got this tip from an old tech 20 years ago.

I used silicone and teflon just like this and it’s STILL leaking 😢 any suggestions?
Check the threads on the fitting and the pump. Might be stripped. Mostly likely will be the fitting.
@@VIPPoolsandSpasthank you! i think you’re right. we’re just gonna get new hoses and connectors and try again 🤞🏼
I have a leak similar to the one you show on your video and my pool guy is saying he may have to replace the housing. Is that possible ?
The ONLY way that the wetend of a pool pump needs to be replaced is, if the threads stripped. This only happens when using hard pipe and plumbing it the same as in the video.
Nice vid! Clear and easy. What are those fittings called that you had installed to loosen the PVC at the front and the top of the pool pump? Mine are glued in on both sides. I would like to be able to remove my pump and store it during the harsh winter. Thanks.
1.5 inch union
Quick question, can I use magic lube instead of the silicon listed? Not sure if it matters and I already have a tube of it.
sure
Only i do is turn off the pump ?
What exactly is the name on silicone tube used?

How long do you let silicone set up before turning pump on?
Get the right stuff and I would turn back on after 10mins
