I have 2 tiny cracks in the pvc bushing, one is clearly visible, the 2nd one shows up only when I put the bibb in. I don't care for the bibb, never used it.
Water drips at different rates - I can get 1 drip per second or two, then I shut off and restart the pump and it drips a lot harder. I'd say it leaks about 1 gallon per hour and as soon as I shut off the pump it sucks air.
Is there a way to remove bushing from Tee? It's glued and I don't think it's threaded
Is there a way to find a pvc cap/pipe that would go on top of pvc tee, so that I could just glue it on?
Would a flexible (rubber) pipe cap do the job? (like this one http://www.lowes.com/pd_23491-34146-RPC50_0__?productId=1065601) I'd have to heat it up to put it on, but would it work? (don't care for the bibb)
Is locktite marine epoxy worth a try? The cracks are tiny, I'd have to use a needle or something to get glue in and I'd only be able to do it on the outside, while cracks are all the way through (the visible one about 1" on the outside and 1" deep)
...........
Is there any reliable way to fix this without cutting pipes?
If I have to cut the pipe, is there a tee with longer outlets so I would avoid using couplers? (I attached 2 more pictures of my setup (with ruler))
Thanks
