Needing some advice on installing this correctly this time. I installed the 1.5 inch Twist to Clean using teflon tape and PVC pipe, which I mistakenly solidly glued into place. Problem number one is I have a replacement unit coming under a warranty issue. On one side of the filter at the first threaded fitting attached to the filter I have always had a drip. Did I use too much tape, not enough tape, or am I better off using the Plumbers putty. Secondly I want to use sone type of two piece compression fitting on each side of the lako's so that I can totally remove it fro servicing the inner filter cartridge. Am I better off using Galvanized here or are their plastic type fittings that will be trouble{leak} free. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mike.
