Depends, did you take it apart and do it right or just glob it on the outside like a hack?

there is suppose to be an o-ring that seals the unit not form-a-gasket. You should pay attention to things when you take them apart.

I think he is taking about the inlet hose to the RWP nipple. Sometimes, the inlet hose is larger than the RWP nipple by 1/4" or so. If this is the case, most people use clear vinyl hose as a spacer which effectively enlarges the RWP nipple to fit the inlet hose ID.
