I have an 18-year-old SofTub, which just sprung a leak in the last two months. Will this product work for a Softub? The leak is NOT in the pump.

Depends on how big the hole is. If it is small enough, the stuff might do it. I'd get two bottles, run one, wait a few days, then do it again. I had to add water to my spa every other day, and the Fix-a-Leak didn't stop the leak completely, but now I can add water once a week. Cheaper than pulling if from the deck and tearing it down to look for the problem ...

If it is a small slow leak, then Fix-A-Leak is worth a try. With the leak that our hot tub had, the leak was too big, and Fix-A-Leak slowed the leak somewhat-from about 4 gallons per day down to 2 gallons per day. As it turned out, the leak was from a cracked PVC fitting at the bottom of the tub, which I found after I drained the tub and removed some plastic grates near the bottom of the tub. The leak was then repaired permanently with marine-grade epoxy.

I've used this product several times to stop leaking in the plumbing of my old hot tub and found that it really does work. It seems to hold up for as long as the tub is filled and warm at least. I've had to reapply if I shut it down, and drain it for a few weeks or months. Regardless, it's a pretty cheap and easy fix for a leaky tub.

You have to tighten up on it pretty well, or it leaks...I had to use a channel lock pliersto really get a grip...after that...no issues...Maybe after 50 gallons, you might try tightening up a little...see what happens...hope this helps!

i lost mine too, but it seemed to function okay without leaking. however it may eventually. i would look for a replacement if you are going to keep the unit.

I don't know. I would get more info first. I used it and it worked. I think it softens and swells seals to stop the leak. If that is the case and your seals are just dried out it should work. Good Luck. Kent

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!!

Yes, it's a tight sqeeze to connect, the hose is cheap thou, if it stays twisted or if something is on it during storage, and flattens the hose a little it wont bounce back, which it can interfere with suction power, but is the only replacement I was able to find, with a little vac that works, like forever. My other hose had duck tape all over it, trying to keep it together, it worked for a while, until it was a flat hose :( and it was done. Good luck.

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.

I don't think this would work. The pump broke down. It's not very durable. I would try and find a different solution to your problem.

Mine sprung a leak the third time I used it. I emailed them and they gave me a full refund without the need to return it. Hope this helps.

I used the plast-aid on a hot tub at the end of July beginning of August. I mixed it a little thick to put around the connection of the flex tubing and PVC jet. It seems to be holding. I used it so I didn't have to drain the tub for the third time. (It over heated while we were on vacation and started leaking in several places.) it seemed to work for that application. It hasn't been leaking where I used the plast-aid. Hope this helps you out! If not, email me. babowdle@roadrunner.com and I can give you my number.

I guess it depends on the nature and size of the leak. Worked well on my hot tub, and that's all above ground. But I have no idea what my leak looked like or where it was in all that maze of plumbing. Maybe there's too much water in the pool for the stuff to work. Ask Marling

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.

Hey adjuster Jim, I have the same problem. I have an Everlast 4210 speedbag that all of sudden starting leaking, so I started looking online for a replacement. One guys review said he repaired the leak. That's what I'm going to attempt with some "Green Slime" or "Fix-a-Flat" or maybe a bicycle tube repair kit. Sorry I couldn't give you an answer on the Title replacement bladder. If my attempts at fixing the leak are unsuccessful, I'll be looking again.

It really depends on how big the leak is and whether it's caused by a hose or a small seep in a seal. In general, if you have a small leak (seap) in a gasket for example, this product works well. I had a small leak in my heater core that's now been sealed for almost 6 months. I don't believe that this product would work for major leaks or bad hoses. Once you make sure that you don't have a faulty hose, and if the leak appears to be coming from a gasket or your heater core, I think it's worth giving a shot.

I took mine apart and put Vaseline around the water inlet fitting, which has done the trick for over six months now. I disconnected the fittings, coated the water line and fitting with Vaseline and reassembled. I asked my local hardware store person about the leaking and he suggested this. It works!
