How exactly does this Marlig Fix a Leak find where the leak is to know what needs sealing?

i presume it works by plugging small openings (eg. cracks) in fittings and pipes. mine worked somewhat (75%). the one'ns it missed were bigger openings? used it a few times. i'd use it again.

Seams it works like barsall (sp) I think it works that when it hits air it hardens, so when it leaks out it hardens, then a little leaks out..it hardens and so on...that's why it an find the leak, it travels and when it hits air it starts to set up. That's how the boiler sealers do it anyway....or it could be gnomes ;)

It is heavy then water therefor goes to the leak then begins building a seal. Kinda like the radiator fix a leak stuff or Fix a Flat.

Don't know how it does it, but it worked for us. Could not find 1 leak, but this put an end to it. Don't know how long it will last, but we finished the year out without a leak!

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!!

not sure. I think it works like the stuff you put in a car radiator. as its search you like through the pipeS it's obviously hardens a little bit and gets caught in the crevices and eventually enough clogs the leak and hardens. unfortunately my lEak was larger and I am dealing with a very large leak now

I don't know the physics of how it works. If you have a minor leak, it works well. I used a syringe that I cut the top off off to pin point where it was leaking on our 1999 hot tub. It finally died beyond repair this winter. This stuff will work for a few months or so and need to be repeated. We were able to make our tub last 2 more years with a few bottles of this. Not a bad result for the money.

you may need to get some oil in to the item and press it when using, then it will leak.

YES! It is actually a water trough for livestock so the drain does seal itself by tightening. If your concerned about leakage you could remove the plug & use plumbers tape when replacing the plug, or use a tree repair seal, heavy black tree seal on the inside of the trough, & let it set until rigid then fill with water to check for leakage.

Follow instructions. ....rubber round gasket om both sides......tighten.....then fill with water. .look for leaks

radiator, assuming that the leak is either from the radiator or engine head/gaskets. if it is a hose, just replace the hose.

Doesn't matter. Product doesn't work. If you could seal it from leaking around the sides, you remain limited to the water pressure of your house. You get the same with a water hose with something wrapped around to make a seal in your pipe. Don't waste your money. Or pay postage and 5 bucks I'll send you mine. Only used once

Measure the top of your drain edge. The rubber ring around the top of the device expands to the drain wall to make a water tight seal as you tighten the screws on the top..

You can try to locate the leak & repair, but will have to cut away fabric. I tried &failed.;

You flip open a door at the top of the handle You can see it in the picture. Once filled it flips down and seals so there are no water leaks.

Buy some new Dramm rubber gasket washers for the female end. This solved my leaking problem.

It could stop leaks but it will not stop a crack from progressing - to stop the crack from progressing you would need to stop-drill the crack - that is drill a hole at the very end of the crack - if the flex-seal stops the leak on the existing crack and the crack progresses you would have to add more flex seal to continue stopping the leak

LuAnne, No, this will not find water leaks in your yard. This probing rod will help locate underground water and septic lines to guide you where to dig. You simply insert the probe end into the ground to feel for the lines. This sometimes takes time and patience, but will save you from digging unnecessary holes. Take care.

Not quite sure your question. What I did was replaced the whole parts. In my case, the leaking was between the parts and the water tank. Actually, that happened more than 1 year already. I can check it tonight. Good luck.

it may be a bad female connector but look at the male connector inlet tip for visible damage, it could be the source of your leak.

The rubber ring is a seal against leaks. You will probably ruin your machine if you continue to use it without the proper seal.

We love our hose and it is the best we have ever seen. My husband says it must be missing the "O" ring inside the female connector that attaches to the motorhome/trailer. Without the seal, it will be loose. It shouldn't be used until the seal is in place.

In order to seal your barrel so that it doesn't leak you have to 1st fill it to the top with water. Place something underneath that will catch the water. It WILL leak, but over time the barrel will swell to the point where it will no longer leak any fluids. Thats what we did with this exact same item, and it works.
