Hi. I have a broken wire connection on my Hayward heater. It is the last wire on the manifold on the outlet side. it looks like it was originally connected by some type of rivet. My question is, is there an easy fix? I didn't know of solder would work, or I have some epoxy left over form an auto radiator repair. Trying to avoid having to remove the whole thing and get expensive. Thanks.

Agree that a picture is invaluable.
Also, glue is notoriously bad as an electrical connection method. You'll want to try to stay with a crimp or solder type connection.

I've had severe rodent damage in my heater, and as mentioned above, easiest way to repair, if possible, is to use crimp fittings, then wrap with some electrical tape.
