Default how to fix plastic pipe leak near pool pump


wrote in message
s.com...
The plastic pipe that comes up out of the pool pump has small leak at
the joint. Is the something I can get to put on the exterior that may
stop the leak?
Thanks


If it is white PVC pipe, standard PVC cement might do it. If you can plug up
the ends of the pipe and create a slight vacuum in it with a vacuum cleaner as
you apply the cement, it will help draw the cement into the leak to fill it and
make a stronger repair than just applying it on the outside.
