    I would think weld on would work. Any chance of a pic??? I personally would use a thinner version first is seep into the crack and then a thicker version overtop to help with strength. I am by no means an acrtlic guru but that is what I would do.
    Does water always taste like salt and poo????

    walmart has a 2 part epoxy that comes in a black/clear plunger. I got my calcium reactor off ebay and it came broken at the pvc elbow. That epoxy did the trick. Use a popcicle stick to form the epoxy over the crack. I would also leave a negative feedback for the seller. If you paid with paypal file a claim
