I went to change my D/I resin today and the lip on the inside of my D/I housing broke off so water leaking everywhere.
 
After my R/O my water is comming out at 007 would i get away with this for a couple of days whilst i wait for a new a housing to come through.
 
The housing i got is a 10" plastic housing.
I have tried to silicon it but it does not hold.

Paul, if you have a screwfix catalouge,look in there for repair putty, cost about £2.29, it is a two part putty, that you squeeze together until a uniform colour, you can then recreate your thread on your D/I housing, leave it to go off for half an hour, and it will be stronger than your plastic housing, and is water proof.

Paul.  I have used it at 006 for a while without any complaints.  It might be better to rinse more thoroughly than normal to be safe.  I'm told that it's better to do first cleans with a lower TDS so, if I was told correctly, it may be better to hold off the first cleans until you get sorted.

Managed to bodge it up for now with some superglue and silicon its not perfect but its doing the job.

I have order a new housing and a spare in case it every happens again.
