Push fit scale inhibitor leaking

lightspeed

Hi

We have what looks like a "push fit" electolyte scale inhibitor immediatly after the stop tap. The area directly below always seems to be damp and today when i rubbed my hand around the joint it was wet. It looks like the push fit joint is leaking slightly.

I was wondering why this might be and what the easiest way to repair this leak would be? Are there any ways of sealing the joint without removing the inhibitor?

Thanks

Are you sure it's leaking? it could just be condensation forming on the scale inhibitor, if so putting some insulation around it might help reduce it.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Yes it is coming from the inhibitor. Having inspected it closely i can see a 1 - 2mm gap at the joint where the water appears to be coming from.

I assume it will need to be replaced.
