Using the wrong glue can be fatal!

 

Picture a contractor plumbing your pool, then a concrete slab with reinforced steel is laid on top of the pipes. What if the contractor used the wrong glue and the glue wasn't suitable for potable water? A leak starts and your pool drops water, shortly you call your pool shop and a leak specialist comes out to tell you that the leak is under the slab. Who's at fault? Your warranty has most likely expired and you have to pay for unnecessary repairs just because the contractor used the wrong glue. BIG DOLLARS $$$.

 

When bonding PVC pipes together, we must ensure the correct adhesive is applied.

Types of Glue on the Market:

The use of “primer” a cleaning fluid is recommended on all applications.
