I bought this and it was damaged in shipping. Rather than spend the money to fix it, I'd prefer to buy the CR-2 as it's the reactor that I wanted anyway, so I'm selling it.

The reactor itself had the lower fitting broken. I've repaired it and leak tested it under pressure. It did not leak so the reactor itself is fine.

The pump's front volute/cover was broken and will need to be replaced. Otherwise the pump runs fine and is as quiet as it should be. You can buy the new cover from Custom Aquatic for $25 - https://www.customaquatic.com/estore/control/product/~product=WP-PWU-1011112310

Looking for $200, shipped via FedEx and insured.

PMs replied but no money in my PayPal yet.

I used a PVC welding compound on the actual fitting, then set it in place and let it cure. I leak tested and didn't see anything. After that I ran a bead of Gorilla Glue on both the outside and inside of the fitting just to be even more safe. I let that cure for 24 hours and saw no leaks. Finally I ran a bead of IC Gel around just for good measure.

I've yanked on the fitting, screwed it together, unscrewed it and put it together again. Leak tested, saw nothing. I'm happy to fill it with water and take a video for you.
