Bubble Detector Leak Testing Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

This leak detection method is recommended when it is impossible or difficult to determine the exact location of the leak using other methods. Although commercial bubble detectors are more effective, household soap solutions may be used.

Using the dauber that comes with the commercial soap solution, apply the solution to all joints, connections, fittings or controls where a leak might be suspected. If high-suds household solutions are used, apply them with a small brush. Wherever bubbles form, leaks are present and must be repaired. check the entire system as there may be more than one leak.
