Explaining how when there is a coil leak or a line set leak
this could save the consumer and the technician both time and money, using this when there is a copper line set leak. under ground refrigerant leak start by hooking up high side hose first
then hook up service which is service hose. always purge hoses.
once gauges are installed turn heat pump on. the process will take about one minute. once easy seal is installed leave air conditioning system running for one hour at least.
Thanks for watching!

This stuff only works on very small leaks if you are having to get your system recharged every season it should work. However if you get your system recharged and it all leaks out in a 2 weeks your hole is 2 big for it to seal. I have had success with this product in old systems that have small leaks

Have you ever used Procharge Products R22 Recharge Dye and Sealer? It comes with a gauge on hose and can of R22 with dye and Sealer. I wanted to add to my 25 year old system which I've been told is 3lbs low. It seems to have a small slow leak. Seems pretty simple to use. About to try but wanted to see if anyone else has done it.

We service lots of old units, with low budgets. This stuff is magic. Evap coils and line sets. Sometimes, this is the only option. My gauges are fine. We've lost zero compressors and zero metering devices. Probably 30 units over 2 years or so. We always use detectors, bubbles and high pressure nitrogen first.

How did it go? My system is flat right now and After an AC tech came and check it out, he said our line set under slab was leaking and we lost everything all Freon. I don’t I’m not sure how big the leak is. I’m thinking of attempt to try One of these products to see if I’m lucky so I have to spend 8K to 10 K to replace the system.

I agree, he needs ball valves on the ends of his hoses then he could have purged the yellow hose then connected it to the tube. Otherwise there had to be some trapped air in the yellow hose. I used this stuff on a lineset leak under the slab which was a a small leak but it took I think 3 times. I would use it again but it would depend on the age of the equipment and where the leak is. Obviously it will never work if it's too large.

Would Calgon Easy Seal work to seal a refrigerant leak in the evaporator coil which sits atop the furnace on our dual fuel system? Our heat pump started not cooling properly (cooling only to 75 degrees and no lower) and the technician who came to look at the problem found evidence of refrigerant oil in the evaporator pan beneath the coils. But try as he may the A/C technician couldn't find the leak with his sniffer. He stated only a new system would resolve the HVAC problem. I'm now debating whether to have a new (and expensive) duel fuel unit installed or find a technician who would try this product. With the price of freon and the kit required to recharge the system this could be a nearly thousand-dollar gamble but compared to approximately $9,500 that was quoted for a new system to be installed it might work. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Late answer... The system won't engage the air conditioning system compressor unless there is gas pressure. So the system must be partially charged and then add the leak sealant. Run for a period of time then top up and do a leak check. Doesn't work on large leaks so best to do a dye test first.

You said "always purge your hoses," but you didn't purge your service hose (the yellow hose) before sending pressure through the injector into your system. How are you supposed to purge the service hose with these injectors? Surely there is some air in the service hose that goes into your system using the method shown in this video.

You add the Easy fix before you fill the freon back up, correct? So it is still below 5 lbs? I have a very small leak that I believe this will fix great but of course the AC man said no, it was a joke. I beliebe it will be fine. Do you have a video for us NON AC repair guys on how to use the gagues? I'm guessing the high pressure side is in the back and low is in the front. Your Expertise is appreciated!!

Alot of my clients are having efficiency issues due to bum techs putting AIR into the system, and the worst thing you have to gamble guess what's the problem, most of the time I just vacuum and recharge the unit with new refrigerant that solves their problem 80-90% of the time. Just if tecs could pay attention, stop putting air into systems and stop releasing refrigerant into the air we could make this would a better place to live in.

I don't really recommend it, but will use it if the customer insists. But I tell them the odds of it working are very low and make sure they understand this. Write this up on their invoice and have them sign it, agreeing that they know it probably won't stop the leak, but they choose to have it put in their system by their choice. Fix the leak or replace the system or the Acoil which is where the leak is 99% of the time............ or throw your money away on sealant that doesn't work hardly at all.
