The leak seems to be fixed the second time around. I took the plan of jblizzle, but followed the procedure recommended by James W.
James W, you stated in an earlier post there was special cement, so I took a look at the cement that I had used the first time. The cement was ABS to PVC, which I felt was wrong. I then bought some heavy duty cement. It came in a larger can than the other cements, with a big round ball as an applicator. Since the applicator was so large, you could not help but get a lot of product on it, but when I put it together the cement came out the top and seemed to form a seal around the flex and 45. I also took time to make certain that the ends of the flex were smooth and clean, and held it there as you recommended. I did it yesterday, but did not turn it on until this morning after it had dried overnight. I ran it all day and did not see a leak.
Developed a new problem today. It now seems my salt cell needs attention. I hope a cleaning is all that it will be needing. Going to try and clean it tomorrow.
