    Greetings from Sarasota,
    should we glue it?
    This is a male PVC threaded adapter you're screwing into metal female threads on the pump isn't it? If so the answeris no. The glue won't bond.
    Sounds like the problem's in the female threads in the pump. Have you contacted the manufacture about this. What do they say? Perhaps they could furnish a new part or give you some idea of what you can do. If you haven't contacted them I would do so at once. Let me know what they say. Good luck, Tom
