FIX A LEAK is a
blended, concentrated material designed to seal leaks in virtually any
material. FIX A LEAK can be used to fix plumbing leaks and leaks in the
spa shell. It will seal holes up to 1/8" in diameter
and form a permanent seal.
Simply remove your filter, add solution to the spa water during filtration
and allow the repair to mend. Use 8 oz per 1,000 gallons for leaks in hot tubs.
Use 32 oz for pools up to 22,000 gallons. A second treatment can be done for
large leaks.
Directions for Using FIX A LEAK
**Shake Well Before Using**
1. Remove all cartridge filters. If you have a sand filter, set filter valve
to re-circulate to bypass the filter media.
2. With pump running on high speed, slowly add FIX A LEAK through the skimmer
or in front of any other suction intake.
3. After adding FIX A LEAK, allow pump to run for approximately 4-5 hours.
4. Continue to re-circulate water until the leak has stopped.
5. After the leak has stopped and given the proper time to cure (24 - 48hrs),
drain, clean and refill the spa. Do not allow spa to dry before wiping
down! If you use less than 8 oz of FIX A LEAK, you won't have to drain
your spa unless you notice a film on the surface of your spa.
6. Re-install filter cartridges and then remove filter cartridges after a day
to rinse out any left over FIX A LEAK film. Do not allow cartridge
to dry before rinsing! Sand Filters: Set filter valve to filter and
resume normal operation. Backwash out unused FIX A LEAK film as required.
Treatment can be repeated if necessary.
SUCTION LINE LEAKS
Suction Leaks are usually known by air mixed with the water at the return fittings.
In most cases suction lines only leak water when the filter pump is shut off.
Normal Circulation will simply draw FIX A LEAK away from the leak and if the
pump is shut off, the material will not get to the leak. You must reverse the
flow of water to force the material through the leak under pressure. Preferably
5-10 psi. until the leak has stopped. When this has been achieved, gradually
increase pressure to 15-25 psi. to insure a proper seal. After sealing
a suction line leak, you must leave the suction off the repaired line for no
less than 48 hours. FIX A LEAK requires time to cure and harden.
MISCELLANEOUS LEAKS
If you suspect a leak around fittings inside the spa (such as return fittings),
lights, skimmer or steps etc, shut down pump and apply FIX A LEAK directly
to the leak using a squeeze bottle. Allow a minimum of 48 hours to cure before
starting up circulation.
