I have developed a slight leak/weep on the lower valve to pvc connection on the return to pool pipe. Yellow arrow in photo. All my equipment is below the level of the pool. Is there a product that can effectively be used on the outside of the seam to stop it?

Yes, it is not pretty when it is done but it should work..
Does it leak all the time or only when the pump is running?
It needs to be dry and not leaking when it is repaired... this stuff is great, it closed a leak in my return pipe 9 years ago and is still leak free..

@cowboycasey - the leak seams to be most noticeable when pressurized. I will get the Plast-aid on order ASAP. thank you.

just open you pump lid and the water should drop back into the pool.. then use the plast-aid... I really add it on thick and about 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide so I know the leak is covered...
@cowboycasey - my issue is all my equipment is downhill of the pool. I can turn off the flow, but there will always be water in the lines from gravity. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
