Flood and Drain table severely leaking, quick fix?..

Hey all,

So I got the tray set up last night and it was water-tight and working like a charm. It's a standard tray, 2x4, so the water pressure should not be that high.
However, I woke up today to find gallons of water in the bottom of my tent. The leaking is coming from one of the Ebb n' Flow kit fittings - most likely the flood tube fitting. My question:

Has anyone dealt with something like this before and how did you fix it? All I can think of doing is adding more rubber inlets to the E&F kit, or getting a hot glue gun and just sealing the living heck out of it. Anyway, please help!


( Note: Thank god i went with a Gorilla tent because the splash guard at the bottom caught EVERY DROP of the gallons of water and there is ZERO damage to my tent or carpet! *whew*)

Nay, no tape whatsoever. I used a zip-tie to seal the tube around the fitting, but I believe the leak to becoming from the space in between the fitting and the table, not the tube and the fitting.

yep what MeJuana said any pipe fittings carrying liquids should always have the threads wrapped with Teflon plumbers tape. cheap easy insurance against leaks
