I bought a new 1 hrs Flotec shallow well jet pump. The new synthetic one. The intake nipple will not stay tight. I have used a steel nipple with rectorseal. Came loose! I replaced it with a new steel with teflon tape, No go, came loose! I used a PVC with teflon, NOPE!, came loose! I replaced new PVC with rector seal, NOPE!!, came loose!!!!! I used Grey plastic nipple with teflon, Guess what NOPE!!!!, came loose! Put grey plastic nipple with rector seal, NOPE! came loose! I put brass nipple both ways, NOPE!!!!! came loose! I finally got mad and tried to use PVC with PVC/ABS/CPVC multi glue, NOPE! came loose!!!!!!!!! The motor is bolted down, no torque flex. Pipe is mounted solid, No flex! Nothing will stay tight! What the heck?????? I have been fighting this for 5 days. works for about 1-5 hours then Bam!!! nipple is loose! Sucking air and no water. I am taking it back and getting a steel pump. NEVER buy the stinking Synthetic Pumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!
