When this stuff actually works, how long does it typically work for? Do leaks return eventually?

For me, that other brand lasted only three weeks after the first application; thereafter, subsequent applications lasted fewer and fewer days - I believe the chemicals used to sanitize the SPA defeated the other brand. By comparison, this brand had its first application about three weeks before I posted the review; that one application is still holding and I am actively using my hot tub weekly.

It's definitely worth a shot. As long as the leak isn't too big, it should get the job done. You definitely won't find a cheaper fix.

I have had a the same thing happen, only mine didn't happen until several months after use. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I just "pop" it down with my hand kind of hard and it starts. As Scott said, it started doing that after I didn't get it sealed and it leaked. So I am guessing that there is just some "gunk" in there causing it to stick. If you wouldn't mind, please post what you find out from customer service. I am still able to use mine, but it continues to stick occasionally.

Ours quit leaking just like the instructions said it would after about 3 days. I am thinking you might have a bad barrel.

need to be purged and vacuum tested after installing, then recharged only after confirming no leaks for 30 or 40 minutes.

Good morning. It's impossible to answer that question directly... there are just too many variables.... Exactly where is it leaking? how bad is it leaking? and so forth..... That being said, this product solves a lot of problems for a lot of people... It's always worth a try before going to the expense of breaking down the engine for repair. Eric

I was spraying it on a leak when the temp was 38. It worked. It took about an hour for it to cure. I also used it on a leak I have had for about 10 year. It was in an add on room and to fix it would require that the floor be busted up for the leak gave me no room to cut the pipe and the splice in a new line. I used this while it was still leaking and sprayed one coat at a time giving each about an hour to set up until I had about 10 coats on the leak. That was 7 months ago and I have not seen so much as a drop of water there. I have used this stuff on top of shingles, on metal roof, and one rubber made garbage cans and each and every time it has sealed the leak. I am getting ready to order more because I have a new leak I need to fix.

I had the same problem as yours. But after I used Teflon tape as you did and let is leak little for a week or so, it stopped by itself. So hope it will happen to you also.

Not sure how it works. But the spa started leaking again after three weeks. 6ft gunite spa losing 1" in 3 hours. Might work better on a smaller leak. Good luck!!

Mine didn't start to leak until I crashed it a bunch. Even then it wasn't much at all. A couple drops here or there, but that's it.

Nope. I've owned three, zero leaks. Could it be overfilled? If you can verify the leak (maybe from a line?) I'd send it back. Good luck!

I had the same problem. I don,t think things were metric but I used plumbers tape and tightened the connection as best I could. 18 months later it still works and no leaks.

Mine was an internal leak, and to my knowledge it is activated by simply by temperature differentials at the leak point. From what I understand, it is supposed to work with external leaks too.

I have had mine put up w the same cartridge for about 2mo and it did not leak out. Only shot it twice the other day. I was surprised It did not leak.

How slow a leak? I've had a bladder with a slow leak for six months. Just blow it up and (mine) lasts at least an hour. Check it out. I boxed for a few years and if I had a buck for every pro that had a "leaky bladder" in his speed bag, I'd be rich.

I'm glad you asked. It took about 3 weeks for this one to start leaking. I was really upset. I absolutely would not recommend it.
