Or is there somewhere in Houston that carries it? The union on my GEO calcium reactor just disconnected from the lid and I need to glue it back in place.

Manually dosing two part for my Ca/Alk demand will get old really fast. Also, I need to get it running again and stabilized before I travel out of town.

Thanks,
Les

I'd be surprised if he keeps Weldon 40 on hand. I texted les.

Les,

You can also use JB Weld in case you don't find Weld-On- it holds at very PSI I can tell from experience.

Thanks to all the offers for help!

Cody helped me get it fixed up Wed evening. Planning to put the reactor back online later tonight to give the glue a good 48 hours to cure. In the meantime I discovered a fun fact - it took about 14 ounces of two part per day to keep alkalinity stable in my system. That's 14 ounces of each Ca and Alk.

AND I was using full strength Kalkwasser for topoff.
