I have a kalk reactor and it is leaking at the bottom where the tube meets the bottom plate. It is a VERY VERY SLOW leak but its there. Anything I can do to correct this or reseal it?

Assuming this is where the acrylic body meets the base, I had a similar issue. Dan suggested emptying and cleaning out the reactor, wiping down the surface with alcohol and once dry, running a bead of acrylic "glue" (the stuff they send with the reactor) on the inside and outside of the tube, which worked great and after letting it dry, I never had another issue with it. Running almost 2+ year now since the fix.

When did you purchase this? Was it a diy kit or pre-built unit?
