pm kalk reactor help please

[rogergolf66]

Ok so I got a PM kalk reactor from another member on the forum about a month ago. I have had it up and running no problems. I took it out to clean it and add more kalk. So I figured I would clean the pump so I took the pump apart leaving the two peices connected to the kalk reactor. Hard to discribe but if u just had the maxijet pump and seperated the pump apart so u could remove the impeller. That's what I did. So when I cleanned it and put it back together the pump now leakes at that spot . I tried super lube as that's what my lfs recommended. It was better but still leaked slow. After that I tried a new motor and attached that to the peice that was still already attached to the reactor and it also leaked. How do I fix this?

I have that same 30 size blue box from harbor frieght. I used same diamiter. I will try smaller one when I get home. No pressure this is just leak test reacor filled with water and pump plugged in
