SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING LEAKS IN A FLUID FILLED VESSEL

摘要

A leak detecting device for water filled vessel such as a swimming pool. An annular resilient seal having a central opening contacts the surface of the vessel under water and creates a seal between the resilient seal and the vessel. A rigid housing open in its interior is coupled to the resilient seal and has an opening for an inlet to deliver fluid into the interior of the housing, or couple a flow meter thereto to measure the fluid flow, or deliver a dye into the housing and through the central opening of the resilient seal.

1. A leak detecting device for a water filled vessel comprising:
An annular having a central opening resilient seal adapted to contact the surface of the vessel underwater and create a seal between the resilient seal and the underwater surface of the vessel; A rigid housing hollow on its interior coupled to the resilient seal having an opening therethrough having an inlet extending into the opening and accessible from the exterior to selectively deliver fluid through the inlet into the interior of the housing, or for coupling a flow meter thereto to detect the flow of water into or out of said housing, or deliver a dye solution for leak detection purposes into the interior of said housing and through the central opening of the resilient seal.
