  • Patent number: 11668620
    Abstract: A leak detecting device for a fluid filled vessel including a housing, a solid shaft, an anchoring attachment, and a resilient member. The housing has a continuous perimeter edge sized to extend around an underwater surface, forms a hollow interior, and includes a first aperture formed through a wall of the housing and a second aperture formed through the wall of the housing. The solid shaft extends through the first aperture of the housing and has a first end on an interior side of the housing and a second end on an exterior side of the housing. The anchoring attachment is secured to the first end of the solid shaft. The resilient member is secured to the perimeter edge of the housing.

  • Patent number: 10088383
    Abstract: 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.
