LOL when i read this i thought...ohh man someone else made my mistake too...i was actually redoing some plumbing and had to cut the pipe directly above my return pump..i cut it glued on the union and then threaded the piece back onto my pump...i guess i was sloppy with the glue and it ran down the inside of the pipe and glued to my pump...what a real PITA...
anyway use the teflon tape...i use the orange stuff...but the white is perfectly fine...2-3 wraps MAXIMUM...and wrap the tape in such a way that when you thread the parts together you actually tighten on the tape instead of peeling it back onto itself..
hold piece in right hand, threads to the left....put the tape on the side of the pipe closest to your thumb and hanging down...wrap around the pipe under and over, [clockwise if you look at the threads from the end]...
