Hi,
I have a leaky connection right at the joint where a PVC pipe is connected to a PVC elbow. I tried to use a rubber coupler with clamps to stop the leak (screwed it so tight I thought I was gonna damage the PVC!). However, the leak is only slowed down! I should also mention there is a little water pressure, but not sure exactly about PSI measurements. How can I stop the leak without permanently sealing the connection? I need to get back in sometimes since my pipes are for a fish tank filter.
Thank you everyone, and try to keep your terms simple and understandable as I am totally new to plumbing.
