I have a pinpoint leak on the supply side of my mag pump it sounds like a
calcium reactor and fills the tank with micro bubbles . I suspect it is the
union because when I put water on it it sucks it in. Maybe it has the wrong
sized O-ring. Can I use a thread sealing compound called select unyte
virgin teflon by whitlam? It says nontoxic non-hardening and its for water
lines among other things
Thanks Kevin.

I used similar stuff on all my threaded fittings.
Bought it in the plumbing department at Lowes..

Yea,
I think it is very inert stuff. No problems on my end after many months of
service.
Used it all over my RO/DI unit as well...

I like using Dow Corning non curing silicone sealant/lubricant product number
111. I use it for a lot of stuff.

Second that one, I have to mail-order it though. Worth it.
