How can I seal a hole made for a chlorinator?

[gundan]

Hello,

I had an inline chlorinator which I have now currently removed.

The existing saddle clamp came out and I replaced it with Hayward CLX220GA CL220

Unfortunately I am unable to fully seal one side, and I have a few drops of water coming out on one side. Does anybody have suggestions on how can I seal it up so that it doesn't leak at all.

Thanks!
G

It works I have done it a few times.Just don't be shy with the glue around the hole

I am obviously a bit ignorant on doing work like this, but a friend of mine who I respect a lot and is very handy with plumbing work around his house suggested this instead.

He said the glue solution will eventually leak again. I would appreciate your thoughts @markayash & @Richard320

I believe they use a proprietary thread. If your friend has pipe taps, invite him over to drill it out and retap it.

You can find out for sure by searching above for chlorinator plug and use the Gsearch button

If your talking about patching a whole on the PVC like mine was the 1/4 or even 2/3 slice of PVC won’t leak. I have done it a few times, you glue it with PVC cement and it’s percent.
Can you post a picture so we can make sure we are talking about the same thing?

Here you go. Please let me know @markayash what you think.

Thank you!

Do as the guys said above and if you want back up just reuse that clamp. It won't leak.

I would probably just replace from the pump to the filter.
If not I still believe if you cut a piece of PVC maybe 1/3 or maybe 1/2 it will seal..Just have to make it narrow to fit..Its glue just like a elbow or coupler..

Thanks guys for all your feedback.

Thanks guys for all your feedback.

If you do the PVC trick dry fit it first..It should kind of snap on..The once your good " glue like a 3rd grader and coat around the whole and every where then put the clam around the pie for extra holding power
