(help) leaky float switch connector

[moonyrat]

Both waste and rodi line connector are leaking what to do.

Silicone?
JB water weld?

Is that a proper bulkhead fitting?
Did you overtighten it?
May need to redo it with new connectors..

Leaking around the connector, or is the actual float leaking?


if they are leaking where you connect your RO/DI line. make sure you cut the line square, and it's pushed in all the way(you can feel the pipe almost clicking twice when pushed into a john guest fitting).



If they are leaking around the connector and your container, silicone is your best friend.

Get a rubber hose gasket that you use in the female connection of a garden hose or get a suitable size o-ring and place it on the flange side of the fitting.

The lines were cut square. I applied silicone to the connectors and added a little bit of vaseline. The connector for the red bin stopped leaking, but for the bucket still leaks

I would think Vaseline would prevent the silicone from drying.
