Fix A Leak Pool Leak Sealer - 8 oz

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!

I used this on our 8 year old Dream Maker Odyssey spa that began losing two to three inches of water every five to six hours. I had checked the pump, fittings and hoses around the motor and found no evidence of any leak and it seemed very likely one or more of the jets was the source of a pretty significant leak. I read several positive reviews (as well as some that were not positive) and like most others concluded it was either give this a shot, pay for a who-knows-how-much service call that wouldn't result in a fix or just turn the spa into a giant planter, Within a few of hours after applying Fix a Leak there was no sign of any drop in the water level...24 hrs later and still the water level remained constant. It's been 3 weeks of heavy use now with no sign of any leak or water loss apart from normal and minimal evaporation. I used roughly 4 ounces of the 8 oz bottle and application and clean-up was a snap. While it's a shame that not everyone got the same stellar results when using Fix a Leak, I couldn't be more satisfied with this product and will keep it on-hand to reapply if needed. Just one additional comment, I did not drain the spa as some others have mentioned, there was very little residue of the product after application which I scooped out very easily. I mention this because it seems that many who did drain and refill their spa found that the leak returned and although this step is recommended it appears it may put additional stress on the seal...though I'm not sure why. I'll be draining/refilling my spa in a few weeks and will report back if any problems/leaking re-emerge afterwards. UPDATE: I did a complete drain and re-fill a month or so after initial application and this review. Still no leaks. Great product. UPDATE: Well, here it is 2018, a few years since the original review and I discovered the spa was leaking again---added the remaining amount of the Fix-a-Leak and "boom," leak stopped within a few minutes. We've been using the spa for a couple of weeks now, no issues.

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.

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...

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

It worked well for 1 week and I thought the issue was fixed. I was really happy about it. I have a small leak in my hot tub, which loses about an inch of water a week. I followed the instructions perfectly. But after a week, the leak came right back. Bummed it didn’t do what it says

My newly acquired almost 20 year old hot tub had leaks some visible and some unknown not loosing a whole lot of water but still an issue with winter temps setting in. Did the obvious jet sealer, checked plumbing ect but this Dimension one spa is heavily insulated. Digging in is not fun and a repair tech will cost you a fortune! I googled spa leak repair and this product came up #1- I read the reviews and like with many of you skeptical! I received the product and after careful review of many of your feedback, Very helpful Thank you ! I designed my own fix it- I removed the filter, heated the product, shake well and dispense into the filter dispensing slowly a half a bottle approx for 350 gal +|- I left cover on at 103 degrees, I let all jets run for 3 hours resetting every 30 min then after 3 hours alternated the jet setting. Within 3 hours leaking at some areas was stopped, after 6 hours added a little more product and let cycle, no visible leaks, water loss or any build up to clean. At 10 hours 100 degrees turned off tub and will let product cure overnight as a review suggested. Will have update for you tomorrow, when power to tub is back on w all jets running and will see if any water loss. I'm sold on this product as I bought another bottle today for back up as it is mentioned during winter temps 4-6 month hold and during mild conditions up to two years! This product is fantastic !! Highly recommend ! UPDATE: Its been 3 days total, NO leaks !! This is an amazing product and unlike other reviews I had no visible clean up. Filter is back in and will filter 36 hours which should filter any residual product as I will not be draining the tub. I will then replace with a new filter and keep old incase I need to use this product again. Will check back if any change is the success of this product! I am more than pleased!

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
