Aquapea Seals Leak Without Repiping

Problem

A shopping plaza noticed an increase in their water bill. After some investigating they were able to pinpoint the cause of the issue being a leak located in a ¾” line running below hardwood flooring. The leak was losing 5.3 liters per minute (LPM).

Solution

The Aquapea was chosen as the preferred solution to seal the leak. Crews used an external pump to boost the unusually low City water pressure. A Pea was launched into the system to seal a 5.3 liter per minute (lpm) water leak. It traveled through the line and was drawn to the leaks location by the flow of the escaping water.

Result

In this situation, it took approximately 45 seconds for the Aquapea to find and seal the leak. The shopping plaza now has a 0.0 liters per minute reading. The Aquapea can be used in various pipe sizes with plans to increase this using our advanced technology.

Quick Facts

• Plugs leaks in less than an hour from the inside.
• One Aquapea can save 10,000 gallons per day on average.
• Lifespan of 30 years.
• NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 Certified.​
