I have a problem. I just installed a 3-stage whole house water filter in my basement, and the unit has a slow leak between the first and the second filter stages. The entire unit is made up of three 20" filter cartridges that are connected together with a short piece of double threaded plastic 3/4" pipe. I can see that the manufacturer used teflon tape at the connections, but I'm still getting a slow leak. Since I've already soldered this in to my water line, it would be very difficult to take everything apart and disassemble the stages of the water filter to correct the problem. My question: Is there any way to repair this slow leak using some sort of liquid thread sealer or something that would "wick" into the threads and stop this leak? Any help would be appreciated. I'm just a homeowner and not very experienced in what plumbing compounds are out there. Thanks.
