The white PVC pipe of my pool pump is leaking at the threaded coupler. It is a new piece but there must have been a problem where the pipe ran dry and burned it. Does anyone know of anything that will fix the leak temporarily (for about a month or so) until I start running it again next spring?
Pool pump has leak in threaded part. Any idea how to fix the leak?

Yep, installing it correctly will fix it...with thread sealant. You should have a Union Fitting before the threaded fitting, for easy servicing. if not, then that's what you start with now or in the spring. It's just a few minutes to cut out a section and glue the right fittings in, permanent and much better than smearing Silicone Caulk or Shoe-Goo all over the leak
