Fix A Leak Pool Leak Sealer - 8 oz

The media could not be loaded. It worked for me. I have a 16 year old portable hot tub that I recently had to push back on to it's side to replace the drain fitting at the bottom and it sat empty on it's side for probably 8 months. I had taken all the skirts off to do that work, and when I went to refill it discovered it was now losing water. It was losing water from the hose connections, the gasket that goes in the middle of the jet, and the gasket that seals against the surface of the hot tub shell. It was not a huge amount of water but an overwhelming project to take on, so I gave this a try and super happy that I did. You can see in the before an after photos, the product forms a kind of plastic seal where the water comes out, that eventually hardens and keeps any more water from coming out.I did feel like the tub was still leaking a little at day 4, and then we had 3 days of rain, and after that there were no more leaks.

Had a trap leaking on a tub installed in 1952. Cast iron tub surrounded by vintage ceramic tile that is no longer made. A true repair would have renovated the bathroom! Did I mention the house is on a slab and the leak was very slow. Will I read about this stuff and thought it was worth a try. It was poured in about a 2 table spoons and let it set for a week. The trap now holds water and the septic system vents through the vent stack pipe like it should. Now I know this is not possible for people with only one bathroom but because we had a second bath option we had time to let the stuff cure. Cheaper than a remodel!

I got some good advice on how to use Fix A Leak from a spa repair professional and I think it made all the difference. I took out the spa filters, I turned the temperature all the way down, I used about 6 of the 8 ounces in our 500 gallon spa while the spa ran continually for 3 hours at a time over a 24 hour period. The leak sealed in what appeared to be the fist 5-10 minutes after I poured it (very slowly) into the filter return. I have since drained the tub, as suggested, and will be refilling it soon, to allow a bit of 'curing'. As far as I can tell, Fix A Leak has worked beyond our expectations as the spa has not lost nay water after having added Fix A Leak to it. Our leak was very minor and we did receive an estimate from a highly rated authorized manufacturer repair service for between $2500 and $3000 to take the spa to their shop, repair the leak(s?) and return it, with only a limited warranty. So, the $15 spent on Fix A Leak seems like a well worth wild experiment, thus far. Obviously the true test will be the test of time... if I think of it, I will submit an update in a few weeks from now...

Let me start by saying that I has serious doubts about how effective this product was going to be. It seemed too good to be true, but it got a lot of positive feedback and it is not that expensive, so what the heck.It stopped the leak in my hot tub in one day! I waited a week before reviewing the product because I wanted to be sure the leak had actually stopped. Sure enough, the water level has not dropped at all. I was losing close to 2 inches a day before I used this.The process was so simple. I took off the water filter, poured the product into the tub near a suction point and let the tub run. The product gets sucked into the pipes, finds the leak, seals it and that's it! I have some product residue remaining that is sitting at the bottom of my tub, so I'm going to drain, let the tub sit dry for about a week to really let the stuff dry and then refill and enjoy my hot tub for the fall!I emailed the company asking about how to handle the residue and they said I can either just reinstall the filter to filter it out or drain, clean and let sit for a week before refilling. As you saw above, I'm playing it safe and just draining.I will likely buy another bottle of this to have on standby in case the leak opens up again, which wouldn't shock me. I'd much rather use this product every now and again than spend over $1,000 on someone coming out to fix the tub. I was very close to getting rid of it altogether, but Fixaleak worked and now my wife and I are looking forward to using the tub for the fall!

My Sundance hot tub was leaking water at about 5 gallons daily. Service guy said it was a difficult fix, pipes were underneath. I took out the filter and slowly added Marlig so it would get sucked into the intake. Next day, there was no drop in water. 15 days later, water level was still unchanged, not leaking! After about 20 days, the pool level dropped about 6 inches. Refilled the tub and repeated the process. Again, it stopped the leak immediately. Filter is still out. Will see how things go, I will update my rating either way depending on what happens. Also noted that one of the jet outlets was very sluggish after use; it may have plugged it. More to come.Well, I added the second bottle and it has held now through April. I have not returned the filter to the tub, continued with routine chemicals. The tub is not crystal clear, my suspicion is that there is residual particulate from this product that may be helping to continue stopping the leak, like platelets that clot blood. (Sorry for that analogy, I am in health care!) That being said, it has not dropped any water in the past 4 months! That is a whole lot better than having to refill 20 gallons every day, or worse having to replace the tub. I plan to change the water, install a new filter and will then see how it does. My review started with 3/5 stars, now up to 4/5 stars. Bottom line, if you are in dire straits, go for it, you have nothing to lose and may buy you more time.04/25/21- Filter is back in, so this is NOT a permanent fix. You will stop the leak as long as the sealer stays in. Disappointing, but still cheaper than a new tub at this time. Back to only 3 stars

This actually works. I had my heater replaced and that didn't leak any longer. However, the next day there were still leaks. Our repair person suggested this product and after three 30 minute cycles in three hours, the patio was dry.Update...leaking started again two days later. Might try another bottle or just live with it.

This did not work for me, was kind of messy. Unsure if I would ever use it again myself.
