Does anyone think this might work on a leaky pump seal? I'm pretty sure that's the kind of leak I have in my 18-year-old Softub. Thanks!

doubtful. this stuff only works for a short time, then the leak will re-develop.Especially, if leak is at an increased pressure point.

It fixes leaks in the plumbing, and should fix a leak in the pump seal, if you are talking about a seal between non-moving parts. If you are talking about the seal around the shaft, that needs to be handled with new parts, or a new pump.

anyplace that hits air it will seal . if u mean an internal seal don't think so. make sure that u totally follow the instrucitons about draining and flushing .

I've had a similar situation. As long as it does not leak, it will still work and is probably sealed well enough even though it is not all the way to the stop. You can use WD40 to lube the threads. That helps sometimes, but don't get it on the o-ring. This may be a sign your unit is needing replaced sooner than later.

Wow. Sorry, I haven't had that problem. Depends on where it's leaking. Might try a new cleaning cartridge and then call the manufacturers help line if that doesn't work.. you can also clean it manually if needed. Check your Operation manual. Might be a stop-gap till you can get it fixed. Good Luck.

Yes this will. I bought it and it worked perfectly. I tightened with pliers and had zero leaks. Anyone who says it was leaking wasn't tightening it enough.

Not sure what to tell you. My pressure cooker is probably that old as well. This seal worked great on my cooker.

I don't think so. Where is the leak and what kind of leak is it? I was not impressed. If the leak is under water, i think under-water epoxy is the best joce. It is used on swimming pools and I used it on a leaking pool light connector. It worked great.

No, It may take more than one application and would probably work best if the pressure was relieved first.I used it on a hot tub that was not under constant pressure, but when the pumps were on, the leak would start and I had to patch it several times to stop the leak all together.

I don't see why this wouldn't work as long as you don't get fluid on oil seals of pump.

Properly tightened with quality gasket should work. Check the mating surface of the valve for smoothness (where it tightens against the gasket). I have used 2 of these valves, and they are flawless. One of the suggestions was thoughtful but incorrect in application (please no offense to Cory. It is great that everyone tries to help). Teflon tape is only to be used on pipe or tapered threads and can only temporarily stop a leak in other applications (if you like, get back to me anytime for details).

In My case, it did seal my compressor leak for the summer, then I would have to repeat treatment again the following year. After a couple of years of treatment the compressor leak became too large and I replaced the compressor. For some reason the price of this product has jumped substantially in the last year.

Mine was an internal leak, and to my knowledge it is activated by simply by temperature differentials at the leak point. From what I understand, it is supposed to work with external leaks too.

Definitely not. This product worked for 15 minutes on a head gasket leak then caused serious engine damage. Look at some of the other products on the market. If the water is dripping down from the "weep hole" in the water pump the seal on the water pump shaft is damaged, don't think anything will work. Take a look a some of the products on Amazon, possibly Bars Leak, maybe.

Visably check the threads. Also the galvinized plug in the top is usualy not tight, could the leak be from there? This is by far the best pump I have ever worked with but the threads may be visably defecctive.

Sorry, not sure, it's working great. No leaks. I did a video on YT if you are interested. Froggy's Garage.:)

Hi Paul H,Is there any update ? Have you talked to your technician ? It's almost a week and that pump is still not doing anything, I really want it to work.Thank you.

Gee...sounds like a faulty product. Shouldn't do that. Try a tiny bit of cooking oil on the gasket that is on the pump and see if it's just a dry gasket. If that doesn't do it...return it.

All I remember is that it DID NOT WORK! I don't know if the product was just really OLD...or if all of it is that hard to work with. Was really flaky and did not fix the leak.
