Hi all
I have a 350l tank with it's outlet to the pump at the bottom. This outlet is a 'female threaded' outlet and is plastic as it's part of the tank - the male connector which screws into it is also plastic. When the tank is full this outlet leaks slowly, as if it isn't tight enough, but it is. I have used silicone sealant and putty around around the outside in an effort to "block" the water from coming out but to no avail. I hear PTFE is not meant to be wrapped onto plastic thread, so what do you use?
Thanks
