The Real Deal!
I followed directions to the T and...@#%*! THIS STUFF WORKS!!As a repair tech I'm well familiar with "stop leak" products used in many industries. Some work better than others and exact circumstances can make all hit or miss. I was actually pretty skeptical about the ability of a working solution (punintended) to fix my good ol' 4-person hot tub, the victim of a winter power failure that caused freezing in the water lines. That would be a fatal condition for most tubs, but NOT the hard-won "portable" tub that I vowed I would never try moving again in my lifetime. Not that there's all that much of that remaining, but all the more motivation to bring my beloved "Think Tub" back to life.So, after rebuilding the heater (too old and costly to replace) and replacing the pump, it was with INDESCRIBABLE sadness I discovered the tub was leaking water from points unknown at rate that would make it more suited as a planter. My indefatigable nature--exacerbated by $200 repairs already expended--led me to Fix-a-Leak. Reviews were surprisingly positive, but even if it wasn't snake oil I didn't have much confidence it would work for my potentially sieve-like tub. After some reflection I decided I could spring for another $22 before crying "uncle!" May well have turned out to be the best $22 I've ever spent!It took me 3 months to garner enough courage and emotional fortitude (oh, and time) to carry out the steps required to check the stuff out. Had I opened the bottle immediately I may have been encouraged enough to try sooner, when the weather was more conducive to the company's online "warm weather" instructions. No matter, they provide instructions for freezing weather as well and those are the ones I followed. Admittedly between those instructions and the actual liquid characteristics I was encouraged. It made sense. The solution is viscous enough, and obviously contains particulates, probably rubberized, that, when well-suspended in the tub water, could coagulate at the leak points and, eventually, HOPEFULLY build up to the point of flow stoppage. In my case, THOSE LITTLE BUGGERS DID JUST THAT!After a single treatment using the 1/3 bottle recommended for a hot tub, the leakage appeared to be completely stopped. The manufacturer mentions that without the drying-out period that is infeasible during cold weather I may need to re-apply come Spring. No worries. There are still 2 applications left in my bottle. Maybe I'll be motivated to update this review down the line. For now I have no compunction about giving this product my unreserved recommendation for pools and hot tubs. I'm a believer!

No more leak!!
I have a plug and play that was leaking from somewhere unknown. I discovered this product and it fixed the leak! You simply fill your hot tub, take out the filter, and pour this where the filter goes. Then turn on the jets for 24 hours and all set. No more leak! It’s excellent. I highly recommend it

Works, the product is very good
• Yes, it works.• Notes For Jacuzzi:• Remove the filter.• Fill the jacuzzi up and cover all inlets and outlets.• Turn the jacuzzi on.• Turn off the water jets so there are no air bubbles going out. Ensure that all jacuzzi holes are pushing water out so the cement gets inside everywhere.• Pour a full 8 oz glass of the product little by little into the suction where the filter goes, allowing the water to suction it into the system.• Get some of the product inside something that you can take down to the floor suction inlet and make sure the product gets inside there as well.• Wait 8 hours, then disconnect the jacuzzi from the power.• Leave the water on for two days.• Repeat if the leak does not stop completely, meaning 100%.• Make sure water is circulating everywhere.

Work well
It worked fine. Water turns soapy and it is hard to remove with filtration in a hot tub. But, it did the work on stopping leaks

I never believed it would work so well!
Let me say. I am a verified purchase, and I highly doubted that this would work. I have an older hot tub that sat dry for far too long. I needed to replace a motor, but an expert told me that having been empty for so long, all the seals would be ruined and the tub would leak... "Un-Fixable" in his words. I fully suspected that my tub was headed to the landfill.Sure enough, it was losing about 2-3 inches per week. Probably around the seals. I bought this product as a Hail Mary. I followed the instruction to the letter. I needed to drain the tub anyway (for the new motor), so I did let it "Cure" for 5 days.Long story long. THIS STUFF WORKS!!! It actually worked before I even drained the tub. I am stoked! It has been a few week, and I am not losing any water. I used half a bottle, so if I need to reapply in 6 months, I will.If you have leaks like mine, I would highly recommend this product.I don't usually write reviews, but I felt that this product deserved it.

sadly i think my hot tub was 2 far gone for this to work
followed what some people have already stated in reviews on this product and tried 1/2 the bottle first filters out ran the jets overnight then shut the tub off for 2 days then turned it back on and the leak slowed down best guess about 80%. repeated the process with the remainder of the bottle and the leak stopped. i was excited i called in the company that had been working on the hot tub to do a drain clean and refill to get the residue out and unfortunately the leak returned. its a bad one right in the center where you cant even get to so sadly this product did not work for me but if you have had success please provide as much detail as to what you did and how you did it hope my review helps
