The Fix A Leak
product is a patented composition, supplied
in a concentrated form, and formulated to
seal pool and spa leaks. It can be used with
all types of materials, helping seal pool or
spa leaks, present in the shell, walls,
floor, fittings, skimmers or circulation
system. Fix A Leak cures to form a
long-lasting seal, that can eliminate leaks,
as large as 1/8" (3 mm) in diameter. Gunite,
fiberglass or vinyl pools should use 1-quart
(954 ml.) for pools as large as 22,000
gallons (83,000 liters). Bigger pools should
use proportionally larger quantities. Spas,
swim spas or hot tubs should use 4-ounces
(120 ml), for each 250 gallons (950 liters)
of water. Leak detection services can help
locate the leak, but the cost may be high
and the repair may involve expensive
excavation and damage to the area
surrounding the pool or spa. Fix A Leak is
not suggested for pool leaks losing more
than 2-inches (5 cm or 50 mm) of water per
day. However, for leaks losing less than
this amount, Fix A Leak can be an easy and
effective remedy. The product has been
tested, under varying conditions and
weather. Fix A Leak has demonstrated and
confirmed its effectiveness, over the past
35 years, when used as directed. After the
leak has been stopped, Fix A Leak cures to
form a hard, long-lasting seal, in about 2-4
days. The directions for proper use are easy
to understand and follow. Pool or Spa leak
defects, that are bigger than 1/8" (3 mm),
or pools that are losing in excess of 2" (5
cm or 50 mm) of water, on a daily basis,
could have loss rates that are simply too
excessive, for Fix A Leak to properly
perform and cure. While, there is no way to
be certain that Fix A Leak will posilutely
and absotively seal all pool or spa leaks,
it is certainly worth trying. Given its long
history of success and the alternatives of
high repair costs and perimeter damage, Fix
A Leak can be a great cost saving pool or
spa leak repair method. |

General Directions for Using Fix A Leak. |
Fix A Leak
is a heavy suspension and must be shaken
thoroughly, before use.
The filter must be bypassed, in order to
prevent the Fix A Leak, from being
filtered out. Set the multiport valve to
recirculate. If this cannot be done,
with a D.E. or cartridge filter, simply
remove the D.E. Filter element or filter
cartridge and allow the water to flow
through the empty filter tank.
Fix A Leak should be added to the
skimmer, main drain or other water
intake, while the pump is running, in
recirculate mode. For suction leaks,
characterized by an aerated return flow,
refer to the directions below.
Because Fix A Leak is so heavy, it will
tend to sink to the floor, upon
returning to the pool or spa. Set the
water intake to close off the skimmers
and use only the main drain. If there is
no main drain, attach the pool vacuum to
a skimmer and set in the deep end or
center of the pool. Brush occasionally,
about every 3-4 hours, while the pump is
running, to help keep the product in
suspension. Run the pump continuously,
until there is an indication that the
leaking has stopped.
To monitor progress, make the water
level with a piece of tape. Check daily
for 2-4 days, while maintaining pump
operation and occasional brushing. Some
small water losses can be attributed to
evaporation, so compare the losses
before and after the Fix A Leak
addition.
Once the leak appears to have been
stopped, make sure that you allow 2-4
days for the product to cure. Fix A Leak
forms a crust, as it is carried out with
the leaking water. This is what makes
the seal. It has to completely dry out,
to cure to a long-lasting seal. Normal
filter operation can resume, after the
leak has been determined to have been
stopped.
This leak-sealing crust forms on the
outside of the pool, spa shell or pipes.
Draining of the pool or spa is not
necessary. The excess Fix A Leak
will be removed, with the resumption of
normal filtration and the vacuuming
and/or brushing of the pool or spa
floor.
Return the multiport valve to the
filtering position and resume
filtration. Backwash daily for the next
2-3 days, while brushing the floor.
Cartridge filters should be cleaned
daily, for the next 2-3 days, while
brushing the floor occasionally. Never
allow the wet cartridge dry out, without
a complete cleaning rinse, D.E. filters
resume normal operation, brush or vacuum
the pool floor and clean the filter out
in 2-3 days or if the pressure rises too
high. Don't allow the filter grids to
dry out, before completely rinsing free
of the removed excess Fix A Leak.
You MAY repeat this treatment, as might
be necessary.
|
Using Fix A Leak for Suction Line Leaks. |
An aerated
return flow is usually an indication of
a suction line leak. Some minor amounts
of air bubbles are normal and are not a
positive indication of a suction line
leak. This type of leak, in most cases,
only loses water while the pump is NOT
running.
Maintaining normal water flow will cause
air to get sucked in, preventing the Fix
A Leak from reaching the site of the
leak. Therefore. the flow of the water
must be reversed, so that the Fix A Leak
product can be carried to the leak and
start forming a crust, as it seeps out.
Keep the pump pressure at 5-10 PSI,
until the leak appears to have been
stopped. During this treatment, brush
the floor, to help keep the Fix A Leak
in suspension.
IMPORTANT. After a suction line leak has
been sealed, DO NOT restore normal water
circulation, for at least 2-4 days. This
will allow the Fix A Leak crust to dry
out and cure to form a long-lasting
seal.
|
Miscellaneous Pool or Spa Leaks. |
Have you
considered possibility of a leak around
any of the fittings inside pool, such as
return-jets or hydrotherapy jet
fittings, installed underwater lights,
pool skimmers or the rubber gaskets used
around some types of steps?
You can try applying the Fix A Leak
product directly to the potential leak,
by filling a dispensing bottle, such as
those used for mustard or ketchup. Stop
pump operation. First, using a
concentrated leak detection dye, might
help locate the location of the problem,
by visibly being carried along to the
leak.
Pool leaks. resulting from cracked pipes
or loose connections can be subjected to
vibration or pressure expansion and may
not able to be sealed, on a permanent
basis. Some pool or spa leaks, because
of their location, size or loss rates,
may require the repair efforts of a
skilled professional.
|
Spa, Swim Spa or Hot Tub Leaks. |
Remove the
filter cartridge, which will effectively
be the same as bypassing the filter.
Shake
the Fix A Leak very well, to help
restore its suspension.
The Fix A
Leak product is very concentrated and
heavy. It will quickly sink to the spa
floor, unless stirred up with a broom,
in addition to maintaining circulation.
The product should be slowly added to
the skimmer or other type of water
intake.
Recirculate and brush the spa floor,
until it appears that the leaking has
stopped. After the leaking has
stopped, allow 2-4 days, for the product
to dry out and cure. If there are signs
of wet insulation, it should be removed,
to facilitate the drying out and curing
process.
At this
point, either drain and thoroughly clean
the spa, with a wet, non-abrasive towel
or resume filtration. If choosing the
latter, brush the spa floor and
hose-clean the spa filter cartridge a
few times, over the next several days.
Never allow a filter cartridge, that
has been used to remove the excess Fix A
Leak, to dry out, before thoroughly
cleaning and hosing off.
Allow the underside to dry out for 3-5
days. Open
the cabinet and use a fan to ventilate
the underside, to help with the drying
out and curing.
