LeakTronics Introduces the Power of Vacuum to Find Leaks
LeakTronics is proud to announce the arrival of a controlled vacuum leak detection device to it’s arsenal of leak detection equipment. Introducing the CamVac System and method; when properly used, it reveals a leak from inside the pipe using air intake. The system works hand in hand with standard pipe cameras, like the Hand Held Video Pro Cameras at Leaktronics, and is available now at www.leaktronics.com.
“In the past, using a camera was not a recommended tool for finding a leak,” shares LeakTronics CEO Darren Merlob. “You could pass a leak ten times and not see it. Blue and black glue could conceal a leak, cameras just weren’t viable to find them alone.”
Using the CamVac, which creates a vacuum tight seal on the pipe and applies actual vacuum inside the pipe, air intake reveals the area of the leak with a steady stream of bubbles and turbulence in a water filled pipe. It’s easily visible by a pipe camera and the vacuum itself is controllable to deliver accurate results. When an empty pipe is saturated by surrounding water, the CamVac uses the same vacuum to draw that water into an empty pipe, showing the precise location of the leak as it pulls water in.
“By controlling the amount of vacuum inside the pipe, you can dial in the right intake and honestly, you can’t miss it,” Merlob adds. “A camera alone might work well for breaks and separations, but trying to find a smaller crack, hole or even an area that’s just started to separate needs something more. With a steady stream of air or water flowing into the pipe, you’ll accurately identify the precise location of where the pipe is leaking.”
Starting at $690 complete, LeakTronics offers discount package pricing when purchased with a camera in the LeakTronics online store. Further explanation is detailed on the LeakTronics website.
