Currently water feed to swamp cooler. At garden hose connection to the
reducer that feeds the small connector and line the cooler uses. Then
another at the cooler itself. I 'fixed' both of these a week ago with
some teflon tape on the threads but evidently that wasn't enough as

the
leaks returned after a few days.


My old boss used teflon tape, and then some
Rectorseal #5 on top of the teflon tape.
Worked well, for him.


This morning I dumped the 1/4" black plastic hose from the garden hose
adapter I had tried on the cooler and used 1/4" copper line with new
connectors as I had always done in the past. So far, so good. Hope it
continues to work. 118 predicted for this Monday, very hot weekend to
come too. Probably more next week. Hot for this early in the year, sigh
