ABSTRACT:
A leak detection device and method for detecting leaks in a fluid vessel such as a swimming pool from a position above the surface of the fluid is disclosed. The device includes a tubular member which may be detachably mounted to a telescoping pole and which houses a flexible dye reservoir. An actuation lever mounted on the tubular member for selective contact with a surface of the flexible reservoir and having a cord attached which runs the length of the pole, permits dye to be expelled from the reservoir by manipulation of the string by an operator positioned at the other end of the pole. Leaks may be detected by attaching the device to the end of the pole and positioning the device beneath the surface of the fluid adjacent a suspected leak. By pulling the cord to cause dye to be expelled, visual confirmation of a leak is determined by seepage of the dye into the leak.
