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.
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.
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
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.
I've watched 3 videos on this EZ seal and each guy did it wrong, including this guy. The irony is he started with "always purge your hoses" then he didn't.
This unit looks really new. If a contractor installed this unit on a leaking line set then the vacuum could not have been properly done. If that is the case then couldnt the easy seal be activated by the non condensibles in the system?
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.
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.
David Jones- Not to be a assistance but that shit will ruin your expensive guages. If you have a leak in the line set either repair the pipe or replace. **Line-set should not be buried, not code** Besides this you have great videos.
Today I was in a cloud of 410a and easy seal. It jacked me up and I had to go home. I can still feel the sealant in my nose. By the way last year i installed the easy seal. I was back for a low charge. Also my ratio was messed up 1 to 2. Or my gauges are way out of wack.
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!!
I had a technician come and service mine because it had a leak supposedly they fixed it but then it did not work again then I had another technician come out and put in the stop leak and to check for the leaks but it had not worked either and it have Freon sprayed all on the outside of the unit it is a Rheem and I have had problems with it from the beginning when they installed it now this person wants to put in another new units this one is still covered under the warranty what would be my best option
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.
@@martinwoods6716 - Compressor manufacturers do not want it in compressors under their warranty. This "stuff" might work on very small micro leaks. 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.
A lot of Home Warranty Companies want you to use it... Like you said, they assume responsibility. I’ve always repaired the leak or replace the equipment if necessary. I try to see what other Contractors try also, no need to reinvent the wheel sometimes.... Thx for replying back, I’ll continue to follow....
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.
tech used this stuff on my R22 system. Says it seals small or larger holes. Total BS. I spent $600 on freon to boot and this sealer doesn't work. Don't waste your money on it.
I really don't think you did this right .. every other video shows it shoot in in less than a second... How do you PURGE the gauges and lines??? As soon as it's connected everything goes right in the system unpurged AIR AND MOISTURE!! seriously what about this how to avoid??
You didn’t purge your charging line😂! Remember to purge guys! Ive been doing AC work for 23 years and I just fix the frikkin leak I never use this shit right here!😂🤣! This is a jack leg way of doing things!
Explained it 100 times better than the manufacturer video. Thanks
You should write a book!
Fred DaVoudi thank you for the compliment I really appreciate that I’m only here to help
Thanks for watching
David Jones I want to thank you for all your videos. Thanks!!!!!!
I appreciate you..
Great way to teaching ..and understanding...thanks David.

Any updates?
@@OnePointLander I moved into a controls position. So, unfortunately no.
Nice work David great video man lots of help
Keep up the good work David looking forward to more videos from you they are helpful
Great instructions! Should refrigerant be added before or after the sealer in installed? Thank you.
I have the same question. Please, let me know in case you figured it out. Tks

@@harwoods11 Hi ,what do you mean large leak? I have to add refrigerant in 20 days in my system is it large leak?
Thanks
Thank you for the video. What about purging the service (yellow) hose, like you did the high-pressure hose? Thank you.

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
No Joke Sherlock
Good channel! Thank you david jones!
I didn't notice you purging the service hose before connecting it to the easy seal

Can this product be used more than one time?
This unit looks really new. If a contractor installed this unit on a leaking line set then the vacuum could not have been properly done. If that is the case then couldnt the easy seal be activated by the non condensibles in the system?
yes sir
This is forsure a Trick not a Treat
Lol!😂
excellent video david thank you for sharing I love all your video's!!!!
how long do I have to wait to add refrigerant following the Easy Seal?
Mr. Jones, did you have any issues with this system after using the product on it or did it solve the problem?
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.

Good advice
Does this work?
How is is done in a mini-split that only has a service hose port on the low side?
Thanks
Thanks for letting me know. I have never been a big fan of leak stop.
For sure a video I will add to my list.
How did you go about purging the yellow line? you purged the high side but didn't see any purge on the other line.
David will you add in the comments how to purge the yellow/service line before connecting it to the sealant !
I don’t think he purged the yellow line and pushed air into the system
I have a silly question: he didn't purge the service line (yellow) so what happens to the air in that line? Thanks!
Ok maybe he did bleed that line but did he bleed after the leak seal? I would think before, no?
Did you or will you be doing a follow up video to see if product works...?
David Jones- Not to be a assistance but that shit will ruin your expensive guages. If you have a leak in the line set either repair the pipe or replace. **Line-set should not be buried, not code** Besides this you have great videos.
I agree it should be against the law..to have buried line sets thanks for your advice
Anyone know how much this costs to get done?
Today I was in a cloud of 410a and easy seal. It jacked me up and I had to go home. I can still feel the sealant in my nose. By the way last year i installed the easy seal. I was back for a low charge. Also my ratio was messed up 1 to 2. Or my gauges are way out of wack.
Ive been watching your videos for I know at least 7 years. Im looking for a ac sealer and didn't know which to buy. I looked no farther for a product.
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.

Guess no one answers questions on their videos, I really needed advice but guess not. Thanks for nothing. Smh
@@exposingscammers1atatime246 Did you do as you stated and fill the Freon after using the easy fix ?
I had a technician come and service mine because it had a leak supposedly they fixed it but then it did not work again then I had another technician come out and put in the stop leak and to check for the leaks but it had not worked either and it have Freon sprayed all on the outside of the unit it is a Rheem and I have had problems with it from the beginning when they installed it now this person wants to put in another new units this one is still covered under the warranty what would be my best option
Looks like a good product

do you top off refrigerant first or after doing this?
I have the same question. Please, let me know in case you figured it out. Tks
Great video.
I appreciate it.
David, did the product work for the custom? How often have you used it. Has it ever damaged equipment or gauges in your experience?
What if it dont have pressure
The evaporator core could be leaking. You didn’t say if you isolated and did a vacuum test
If you have a leak do you top up the Refrigerant before or after you use easy seal? And did this repair your leak???
Thank u sir
I guess the yellow hose doesn’t get air in it and doesn’t need to be purged
That was too easy👍
100ft underground? 🤨
I think a new lineset should be installed....above ground.
Did you FollowUp with the easy seal and what is your opinion after using several times... Do you recommend or is it a waste of time and money...?

@@martinwoods6716 - I won't work for home warrnty companies. They have a bad reputation with a lot of techs. Thank you Martin. God Bless.
Still not a fan of sealant but with a buried lineset I guess that's all you can do. They should ban buried linesets
I don't know about that stuff , good luck David .
I would have to go through 4 fire walls. this would be very expensive for the owner. I was trying to safe money and time.. wish me luck....
***** yep
use a cheap set of gauges or super short hoses with z-manifold...
Hate to tell you you need to add to the suction side not the high side using it on the high pressure side you. Will trash the compressor
He did inject it into the low side. The high side connector was used to supply the pressure to push the sealant into the low side.

I have 150 ft of line on a mini split system with 4 zones how many would I need
You need to reflare
You need to learn how to flare. PERIOD.
tech used this stuff on my R22 system. Says it seals small or larger holes. Total BS. I spent $600 on freon to boot and this sealer doesn't work. Don't waste your money on it.
Try-ed it. Now the reversing valve won't cycle.
I really don't think you did this right .. every other video shows it shoot in in less than a second...
How do you PURGE the gauges and lines???
As soon as it's connected everything goes right in the system unpurged AIR AND MOISTURE!!

cheat :- ]
Highly do not recommend, causes compressor failures. Pure snake oil.
