Marlig Fix-A-Leak Pool and Spa Leak Sealer - 32 oz

If I could give ten stars I would. My hot tub guy said this product doesn't work and to rip all the foam out and find the leak that way. Besides the time and hassle of doing that my hottub is built into a deck with no easy access to all areas. I decided to try this product. I marked my hot tub at the full mark and checked in 24 hours then marked the water level again. I was losing three inches of water a day out of a 500 gallon hot tub. Followed internet directions from products website and poured 8 ounces into filter intake. Ran all 3 pumps alternately for 8 hours. The water level only went down an inch after first treatment. Refilled hot tub to full mark. Did the same thing the next day an did not go down at all. Let it sit 2 days with no power and still was at the full mark. Drained and let cure (sit) for four days and then filled and ran like normal. I used old filters for first two days then replaced with new ones. So far after 4 weeks the water level may drop a 1/2 inch a week. I just top it off once a week on friday morning. I believe this drop is from evaporation since it is running at 100 degrees 24 hours a day. The product worked perfectly.

FIX A LEAK – The Only OneOK – I am rating this product as 4 Stars – it states that 80% of the time it will repair the leak in your swimming pool or hot tub. I followed instructions to a “t” for a leak in my hot tub. The product did stop the leak during treatment, however, after draining the hot tub and allowing for a 7-day cure – the leak re-appeared.There is a time commitment for repair of the hot tub as instructed by the Fix a Leak Web Site (www.fixaleak.com). I ran the hot tub for the full six-hour cycle – let the water sit overnight, drained the hot tub and then allowed for a 7-day cure in the St. Louis Summer heat….I believe this is a good product, manufacture claims it will fix 80 % of leaks – did not work for me, however, I will try Fix A Leak if I have another hot tub leak. My leaking tub was ultimately fixed by a spa dealer.This type of application will be for hot tub/spa leaks that are minor in nature. When you know your hot tub/spa is leaking but cannot detect a noticeable water drop inside the spa a wet spa pad or actual water slowly dripping onto the pad or floor may be the cause. Since it will be difficult to determine if you have sealed this type of leak follow the steps below.Remove all cartridge filters.Pour the entire contents of the bottle into the filter intake or directly into the spa.On day 1 run the spa for 4-6 hours, alternating between the low and high-speed jets.Since the jets usually run on a 15-minute cycle, you must be present to restart once cycle kicks off.After the 4-6 hours you can shut off your spa or just allow the recirculating pump to periodically run its cycle.**On day two, if the leak has slowed but not stopped, broom the bottom of your hot tub/spa before restarting the process as you did on day one of alternating between high and low speed jets for 4-6 hours.After day two leave the spa off for 48 hours. During this time frame check to see if the water level is stable and if the hot tub/spa pad remains dry.

I had a leak in the pool and I couldn't find out where it's coming from and if you call somebody they charge $100 an hour to figure out where the link is I bought this fix a leak and I'm going to tell you something people it really worked just follow the instructions and hold on for 3 days don't let the pump run for 3 days that thing really works my leak stop completely it's amazing product I would recommend this to anybody

I haven't used my hot tub for the past 10 months. I drained it last November and after filling it I easily found 12 leaks. Some of the leaks were produced rapid drips and other were slower. After operating the tub for 24 hours I was loosing about 1 inch of water per day on a 500 gallon capacity. After deciding that this 17 year old hot tub was at the end of it's life I tried this sealant. I put in about 12 ounces into the skimmer (removing the filter first), turned on the pump on low for 8 hours. I also used a wet vac to remove the large puddles on the interior floor and with the aid of a bright sunshine 80 degree day my hope was that the enclosure would dry out.Upon returning the floor of the plywood inside of the tub showed no new puddles and all of the drips were dry. I am now filtering the water to remove the rest of the sealant. I am very impressed with this product and for $25 it is money well spent. I couldn't even imagine how many hours I would have spent resealing the fitting and flexible tubes. Most likely due to the volume of water building up and the control unit I was at a point that I was going to scrap the unit. Even if this fix last only the season I have enough sealant remaining to do it 2 more times. I will keep this review updated so that it will be worthwhile to hot tub owners that are facing the same problem I was having.Follow-up CommentToday I drained my tub after all of the leaks were sealed. I drained it because I wanted to make sure that the water was free of sealant. I filled my tub with the wash tub faucet. This allowed me to reach the 104 degree operating temperature in about 2 hours. Out of the dozen severe leaks that I had I am down to 3 small leaks. I expect two of them to stop as the tub runs over the next few days. This is always the case, for some reason the old seals tend to expand when heated and very small drips stop on there own. One leak most like will continue but that will not cause a problem because of its location, there is no controls or power any near it. With a 17 year old tub there were always a few small leaks. This sealant worked as I hoped it would. I know it not permanent but mostly will work for the next 4 months until I drain it for the worse part of winter. I sure that I will have to repeat it next year but based on the unit cost of $25 for 32 ounces I can keep it running for three more years.I would recommend this product to anyone facing a similar problem like mine. I had nothing too lose except the cost of heating the water, draining and refilling. The cost of fixing the leaks would have resulted in some broken jets, new tubing, a slew of labor hours. This was the best solution for my situation.Final CommentAfter using this product for two weeks most if not all leaks returned. Leaks got worse when the temperature was lowered from 104 to 85 and the circulator was changed from constantly running to a 2 per day filtering cycle. I knew from the reviews that there was mixed feelings on the performance of this product and while some say it worked others said it didn't. For me it was a shot worth taking and I not really disappointed by it's performance. I'm sure in some situations it works great but not mine. I will run the tub for the remainder of the season, mark all of the leaks with a grease pen and then begin the long process of re-cementing the bad joints.Update- October 10, 2015, leaks were so bad that the entire 500 gallons leaked out over a 2 week period. Today we decided to scrap the tube because virtually every joint had leaks. had nothing to lose if it worked but just as other reviews stated the fix was temporary.

This could be the favorite product that I have EVER happened upon. I've had hot tubs for 25 years, and never had a serious issue that seem to plague my friends that own hot tubs. well, 2023 and I was due. Hot Springs Envoy 450 gallon tub. I was losing over an inch a day, I I didn't think any fix a leak miracle cure would work in my situation. I spent a month trying to locate leak to no avail. Hot Tub service folks told me that this would never work.THIS Magic sorcery fixed my issue first time and immediately, and for 4+ weeks, not a sign of even a drip.I am going to give the another try, as it worked perfectly and stopped my leak on first try, and it remained perfectly plugged for a little over a month, before it gave way. I will try it again during a warmer spell (I live in North East, it's the end of January 24), and see if I get successful and lasting fix on the next try.I could not be more amazed in a product. Worked for me. AMAZING

I was skeptical, but figured for the price, why not try it? Our tub was losing about 3-4 inches per week, from a corner that offered no easy access to anything. The directions on the bottle were primarily geared to fixing leaking swimming pools but I read thru them several times and scaled everything down to our 225 gallon 2-person hot tub. I let the bottle stand in hot water for about 20 minutes (per instructions) then removed the filters, started the jets, shook the bottle, and poured about 1 cup into the filter box. I let the jets run for 2 hours, then shut them off. No more leak! I haven't run the jets since then, bacause you're supposed to allow a day or two for the fix to "cure" but so far so good! Even if it's not a permanent fix, I've got enough for 3 more treatments if needed.

I resurrected our 20+ year old Jacuzzi as a summer project. It's been about five years since I last ran it. I worked through some electrical issues and was happy to finally have it running. Then I noticed the growing puddle underneath...a leak! It wasn't much, just enough to keep the carpet damp. I noticed the water level dropping about a mm a day. I cracked open the skirt, hunted around, and found a pinhole leak in the sealant along the filter duct. A bucket underneath the drip confirmed that I was losing less than a gallon a day. Nevertheless, I'd have to fix it. I never repaired hot tub leaks before, so I naturally referred to the Interwebs. At first it seemed like I'd have to drain the tub, patch it up, refill, and hope for the best. Then I stumbled across a review for this product. The Amazon reviews supported the idea that it might actually work. I took a chance and ordered it. There were two recommended methods in the instructions: One was to just dump some into the tub and run the jets for a while. The other was, if you knew the whereabouts of the leak, to put some in a ketchup bottle and apply it directly to the leaky area. I took the ketchup bottle approach, squeezing it out around the filter duct below the waterline. I ran the jets for good measure (taking care to remove the filters first, as directed). Amazingly, the leak stopped almost right away! I did have to do a bit of cleanup, using a water-vacuum to suck up the remaining solution which piled up on the seat and floor, but it wasn't much. It's been a couple months now and the leak hasn't come back. I barely used any of the solution, so I have it on standby if it should recur. All in all, I'm very happy! I hardly had to do anything and the problem is now solved.
