Question: Is the standard white pipe sealant paste still the best option for sealing PVC fittings, or is there something better?
Hi folks! I’m back with my annual random pool question. Last year, I noticed some leakage around the PVC fittings going into and out of my filter housing. It looks like they were originally sealed with the typical white pipe sealant paste.
Before I open the pool this year, I want to clean up those fittings and reseal them. I'm assuming this is just regular maintenance that needs to be done periodically.
So, should I stick with the white paste, or is there a better product out there these days? Thanks in advance!
Edit to say I have a "paper" filter element as opposed to sand. The filer housing is one of those large R2D2 looking things.
