Radiant Heat Repair

[tjhunter724]

We have a home that is heated by Radiant Heat… and have to add water to the system every three to four days, about a gallon of water… is there an additive we can add to the system that will seal the leak? we have no direct access to the hose-tubing(it’s not copper tubing) in the floor, no basement, hardwood floors.. are there any other alternatives to fixing the leaking Radiant Heat system?
Please advise and thanx.

Anything you add that can gunk up a leak can gunk up everything in the system – pumps, valves, exchangers.
Find where the leak is by using heat sensors and stethoscopes where the leak might be and isolate that tube by plugging it off the manifold.

The alternative is to rip up the section where the leak is and fix it.

Yes, you really have to find out the MAKE and MODEL to get good answers. There IS more than one machine made.
