DIY Sprinkler Leak Around PVC Riser

Hi all,

I built this diy Sprinkler system and noticed I was getting dramatically less than advertised range on my MP2000. Took a look and noticed a leak around the circled area.

It seems like water is just getting trapped in that little section and unable to clear.

I tightened the PVC riser just to be sure (no parts for a rubber gasket) and still have the same problem.

I put a hose pressure regulator of 40-50psi on, the hose is about 50 foot. I adjusted the sprinkler head for max settings. I tried another sprinkler head, PVC riser and head. Same issue. I debated a longer PVC riser (think it's currently 1 and 1/12 inch) but doubt a longer riser would resolve the problem.

I'm getting about 17 feet now from my sprinkler (a bit short but I can live with it). The problem seems to be this leak though if I keep chaining more to this sprinkler.

Is there something I'm missing? All these parts are brand new.
