Fix A Leak Pool Leak Sealer - 8 oz

This stuff is amazing! If you have a leaky hot tub or pool, definitely try it. We have an old spa. When it started leaking we were told the parts aren't available any more. We were faced with buying a new one for a lot of $, plus having the old one hauled away. But lucky for us, the repair guy suggested trying this. We used it one time in November. It's now mid August and still no leaking! We're beyond thrilled!

used in my hot tub. seemed to have developed a few leaks over the winter, guess I did not drain it well enough.had to replace the one way valve, that had a big crack but ut still had a small leak somewhere I could not find.word of advice. follow the directions, could take a day or two of running on and off, but it didwork has been 3 months, no leak

This review is after a week and applies only to outdoor recirculating fountains. After trying a number of other unsuccessful ‘fixes’ this stuff appeared to work pretty quickly (miraculously?) but the leak returned after a couple days; gave it a second dose, again seems to have worked. For fountain application it’s ability to penetrate everywhere water goes is a far, far superior fix to using spray rubber, epoxy, aquarium sealer, etc, as 1) the problem is often deeper than a surface sealer application can reach and 2) fountain cracks open up more with the full weight of water, so fixing it ‘dry’ is no good. I’ve even used underwater sealer but you’re still limited to the surface you can reach — and cracks from freeze/thaw often occur in inaccessible areas (even on an empty fountain). For small fountains, bird baths, etc that only hold several gallons of water, the smallest 8 oz bottle for under $15 is plenty for a number of applications…and even if it periodically needs a booster shot, it’s still the best solution by far to all alternatives for any persistent leaker. Think of it, in the light least favorable, as the easiest, cheapest, quickest, least labor intensive option that may work and you should try it before anything else for leakers. Word to the wise: if you don’t exchange the water after a couple days birds and animals will avoid it while it still has the chemical aboard…but it doesn’t seem to harm ground cover when dumped on it.

About a month ago, we had spent $1000 getting a new circulation pump and heater for our 20 year old hot tub. The next day we noticed water on the concrete. We called them back and they recommended this product. It WORKED! I have no idea if it will last through the winter but wow! A month later and still dry. Great product.Follow the instructions. We did exactly as it said and had no problems. Just added timers so we didn't forget to turn the jets off and on

It worked great !!!! it did do what he said it would do. A small leak in a hot tub, poured about a third of this bottle into the water with the Jets running and I guess wherever water was leaking out this stuff goes to it and plugs the leak. As long as it’s a small leak .Remember “ bars- leak “ same thing. Same idea .Like a pinhole leak perhaps just a little bit larger. It’s not gonna repair a quarter inch hole in PVC, I don’t think.. So just keep that in mind and also read the instructions and follow the instructions, they’re there for a reason. Thank you

This review was originally written on 23 Oct 2014; updated today, 20 Nov 2014. I have a 10-year old 500 gallon hot tub with 6 pumps running the heater, filtering system, and 84 jets. Inside the shell, all the parts and plumbing are buried beneath sprayed-on foam insulation - in some locations as much as 6" thick. Over the years I have replaced two of the jet pumps which had piping connectors that I had to dig-out of more than 4" of foam insulation; that arduous and messy experience taught me that there was no hope in finding the source of a leak underneath all of that foam. In May of 2014, When my tub developed such a leak, I sought an alternative to tearing the tub apart and stripping-out the foam. I watched several you-tube videos wherein other SPA owners facing similar challenges used a "Seal A Leak" product by "SPA Choice" and avoided the task of tearing down their tubs. Although skeptical, I decided to give it a try; in June, I bought the product through Amazon but it came to me from a third-party distributor; it worked at first, but then failed over time (about two weeks) - subsequent treatments with the same product gave no better results. Then, in July 2014, I found this product (Fix A Leak) on Amazon and decided to give it a try. My initial treatment in mid-August 2014 was half the bottle through the filter chase; since then, until now (20 Nov), it had been holding up well. I wrote my first review for this product on the 23 Oct after it had held-up for about 3 months. This past weekend, I noticed my tub has begun to leak again, at about the same rate that it had leaked before the first treatment. Although it's leaking again, the empirical evidence suggests this product is superior to the other because this one held-up for four months as opposed to two weeks. I retreated the tub today (20 Nov), and will again if necessary; the prohibitive high-cost of service and parts dictate it warrants a try. I will tear the tub down only after giving this product multiple chances to prove itself incapable of a permanent fix. It has worked for me, never mind it was only four months, that's better than spending $2,000.00(+) with no guarantee their repair won't leak again after only three months - at least here locally, none of the techs I spoke with will warranty their leak-repair work beyond 90 days. After several discussions with multiple technicians, I've concluded the industry's permanent solution to a leaking Hot-tub is to replace it. New, my tub cost more than $7K ten years ago; today, one like it, will cost twice that amount. At a cost of only $15 bucks for this 8oz bottle, what can you lose? Your SPA's leaking already, or you wouldn't be reading this review, and this little bottle is certainly cheaper than a service call - in this area a service call is $150.00 just for the tech to show-up and look at it. I recommend you give this product a try - if necessary, several times.
