Our Leak Detection Equipment
Below are some of the state of the art tools that Leak Busters uses to pinpoint the exact location of your leak in the most efficient, non-destructive, and precise manner available today. We carry a complete line of equipment to assess your leaks from above and under water.
The Leakalyzer: Water Loss Sensor
The Leakalyzer enables rapid determination of a pools water loss. It measures water level changes to the 10,000th of an inch, enabling leaks to be identified in as little as 5 minutes. The Leakalyzer is so sensitive that water loss of less than a gallon from a 20ft. x 40ft. pool is readily indicated. Following its analysis it produces a computerized graph showing the precise amounts of water that are being lost per hour and per day. It also breaks down how much water loss is due to evaporation and how much is due to the leak.
The Leakalyzer can provide the following valuable benefits: Provide Leak Status Certifications for pool owners, insurance companies, and realtors. This is very helpful if you are looking at buying or selling a home with a pool. Confirm a pool's leak status before investing time in extensive leak location procedures. Confirm leaks have been fixed at the completion of repair thus avoiding call-backs. Compare pump-on to pump-off water loss while at the pool to better direct leak location activities.

LeakTrac 2400: Liner Leak Detection Tool
The LeakTrac 2400 uses patented technology to direct you to even the smallest vinyl liner pinhole leaks in minutes. Stop wasting time visually inspecting every inch of a liner. The LeakTrac 2400 finds leaks by putting a small electrical charge into the pool water, then tracking the flow of electricity as it makes connections to the ground through conductive penetrations in the liner.

LeakTronics Pressure Rig
For suspected leaks in the pool’s plumbing system (returns, skimmer line, vacuum line, etc.), Leak Busters uses the LeakTronics pressure rig to perform a pressure test. The lines are plugged and then pressured using water, up to 15-20 PSI. If the lines hold pressure without dropping (as measured with a pressure gauge) then there is no leak.

LeakTronics Deckplate & Soil Probe
Sonic Underground Leak Detection equipment. The LeakTronics Deckplate and Soil Probe is used, in conjunction with headphones and an amplifier, to listen underground as we follow the likely path of the leaking line. The Deckplate and Soil Probe with advanced noise filtering technology makes listening through concrete, brick, rock or any other surface simple. The mixture of pressurized water and air makes a distinctive noise which the Deckplate allows us to hear.

LeakTronics Pool Scope, Side Mic, and Pipe Mic Hydrophones
These three specially designed underwater microphones (hydrophones), paired with our headphones and amplifier, allows us to listen for leaks below the pool’s water level. The mics are placed underwater near all typical leak locations such as return jets, skimmers, main drains, steps, and lights. The distinctive sound of flowing water will help to identify any leak locations.

LeakTronics Videoscope
The Videoscope underwater video camera allows us to look inside small areas such as pipes and light receptacles that would otherwise be inaccessible. A special attached dye injection system allows us to identify and view even the smallest of leaks under the surface.

The Air Line E-160 Tankless Breathing System and Drysuit
This equipment adds to our collection of leak detection tools and allows us to further assess pool leaks. We are able to dive pools to locate and assess leaks even in cold temperatures.
