will this find water leaks in your yard?

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.

It is not desiged to find "leaks" which may be from a broken pipe or some other source. However, it's purpose is to penetrate the soil to find solid things below ground level. It does that well. For instance, I have found my septic tank and pipes leading to/from my pool. If something like that is the source of the leak then at least you know where to look.

Hi! It should, but I haven't checked yet. I would need to send the water for examination which is not cheap as I haven't find any other cheaper way to do it. If I will have some results, I will try to update the review.

In theory, yes. I use mine as essentially a filter for my pond, and for the most part, I don't have issues with leaking. Due to some rough treatment on my part, however, it will occasionally let a sliver of water through if it's not positioned correctly. As long as you don't strip the drain plug fixture while using a socket wrench and pliars, you should be ok.

It's made out of stuff that holds water and lets it soak areas needing irrigation in the yard. I haven't had time nor the interest to go inside the hose or do extensive chemical testing or investigation. Contact the manufacturer.

Depends on where it is leaking. Use teflon tape on the thread or check the washers.

No. It's meant for cooling it has a dye that you can look for leaks , but leaks can come from anywhere allot of ac units just need a recharge , if you know you have a leak than you'll need to run a pressure test , but if you never really service your ac unit chances are you just need a recharge

yup yup left my floor wet. i am returning it. i bought the fluval 306 and it has been on for a week and no leaks.

I use mine at my coast house to clean my deck. I've never experienced any leaks, but I don't use it often.

I have three of these in my vacation home to detect water leaks. It it meant for indoor use to be placed on a flat surface. It has two metal electrodes that when sitting in water completes a circuit. If you placed it outdoors It may or may not work but it would surely malfunction if left exposed for any length of time.

Yes to check for leaks it is small like a pencil. This is a good kit and easy to use.

It should definitely work in dirt. That is where I used it to find something buried 4 inches under dirt and weeds. I don't know about water.

That depends on the leak, my experience is that if the sensor is clean, it will guide you to the leak, also I recommend the uv light and dye

Leak? As in a hole? No. But the seams are not air/water tight.... Or it'd pop! I of get water on the grass underneath between splashing and venting. If I drain the pool the grass under it will scorch from the heat, so I have to put it away or move it.

I don't think so! The leaks may be coming from improper positioning. I haven't had a problem. Just make sure you have a good connection.

Yes, it still works great, I've used it about four times on my 3/4 acre yard with insecticide and herbicide. No leaks at all, great suction

Not in my experience. After connecting the hose, it leaked where it was clamped on both ends of the hose.

Not sure how you'd determine what detected heat was a water leak and not just heat conduction from the pipe.A good moisture sensor might work, or a pressure test of pipe sections.
