I purchased 3 Neptune flow meters for my new tank and they all leaked. I was able to seal the 1" returns with Oatey Great White Pipe Joint Compound. The 1/2" module keep dripping at a very slow rate despite redoing the joint compound twice.
Do I have a bad union (It's one of those BSPP to slip)? Why can't Neptune, a US company, use the NPT version?
It seems like the module they use is a $2.50 hall flow sensor that can come in an NPT version. The 3 pin connector is replaced by a TRRS 3.5mm jack. Has anyone gone the route of getting one of these and replacing the connector to work with the Neptune FMM?
Really frustrating to buy something with 10x markup and it keeps leaking. None of my unions for anything else have ever leaked.
