Hello,
I had a little oops with my ATO. the magnet on the part with the pressure gauge ripped off when i was moving it. What kind of glue can I use to put it back on? nothing is damaged it came clean off. BTW, those magnets are strong.

Just use a 2 part epoxy.

Hi Christine,

PVC glue works well as both pieces are made from 3/8" PVC sheet. If you have any trouble with it, just email me and I can send out a replacement.

Thank you both for the help i have both as it turns out so which do you think would be better the pvc glue or epoxy?

Whichever one you feel is easier to use; both should work well. I'm not sure what brand of epoxy you have so it's hard to comment on it, but PVC glue will make a solvent bond which is quite strong. If you have a clamp, use it to press the two pieces together tightly once glued, and let it sit for a few hours. You might also sand both surfaces prior to gluing.
