So I went to do a freshwater leak test this afternoon, and yup, you guessed it; I’ve got a leak. However, this one’s thrown me for a loop and I’m hoping you guys can help me out.
The pump is a PanWorld NH-100PX. I bought it used off Ebay. When it arrived, I quickly looked at it, as I was on my way to work, and it looked great. A few days later, I took it apart to clean it, and that’s when I noticed that the front casing is cracked. I didn’t worry about it to much, as the pump ran without difficultly and left me with the impression that it was still water tight. As I was priming the CLS, which is what I’m using this pump for, water leaked right out of the front casing. I’ve gone ahead and emailed PanWorld to inquire about replacement parts. I’ve also put some Christy’s Red Hot Blue Glue PVC pipe cement over the top of the crack. However, after a few hours curing, the cement is really pliable. I don’t think that it will hold under pressure.
So, what’d ya all think? Any suggestions on a mean to repair this?

Wow! I got that email this morning after emailing the company last night right before posting this thread.
