Leak Sealer is specifically designed to seal minor leaks in swimming pools. If you have a leak, then this product is should be your first option prior to spending excessive amounts on leak detection and possible major structural work. Leak Sealer is designed to be used with a water loss rate not exceeding 1 inch per day in a 60,000 litre pool. For leaks in spas or hot tubs please go to our dedicated Spa Leak Sealer.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Please note: Leak Sealer should not be used when the swimming pool water temperature is below 6 degrees Celsius (°C).
- Turn pool pump off. Remove any automatic pool cleaner from the pool.
- Set the filter on BY-PASS or RECIRCULATE setting. If neither of these settings are available, then remove the filter grids or cartridges from the filter prior to commencing treatment.
Note: Fine fountain jets may block when Leak Sealer is applied. If these jets cannot be removed prior to use, then do not use this product.
- Leak Sealer should be added to the pool at the rate of 1 litre per 60,000 litres pool water. There are two methods of application for Leak Sealer depending on the location of the leak.
(A) LEAK IN POOL SURFACE: If possible locate the area of the leak and add the product to this area. Otherwise distribute the product evenly around the pool.
(B) LEAK IN PIPEWORK: Add the correct dose of Leak Sealer directly into the skimmer. Set up a pool vacuum hose (with vacuum head attached) at the deepest point of the pool (This method ensures maximum circulation through the pipe-work). Check that the vac hose is free of air before application.
- If uncertain of the location of the leak use the above method (B).
- Wait 30 minutes and then turn the pump on. Leave the pump running for a minimum of 8 hours.
- Mark the water level and check in 24 hours.
- Leave the pool until all residue settles (within 6 hours) and vacuum any residue to waste.
- A second application may be required in larger pools or if the loss of water has been reduced.
