SEALTECH 430R, the solution to locating RAINWATER LEAKS IN RECREATION VEHICLES!

The most frustrating maintenance problem in the RV industry has been locating gaps in exterior wall claddings. Repeated repair attempts, customer frustration, and incredible structural repair costs have been the norm. The SEALTECH 43OR pinpoints the actual outer surface fault, which is often remote from any visible interior moisture, water damage, or odors. The system requires only one technician, is non-intrusive, easy to use, and has a rapid payback period. For the first time, users can:

• accept leak repair engagements confidently, knowing that they can “fix it right the first time”
• confidently warrant their leak repair work
• quote flat rates for leak repair work
• ensure that all RVs sold do not leak
• more accurately evaluate trade-ins
• complete new product leak repair warranty work profitably, within budget locate and repair developing faults before water damage occurs (perform preventive maintenance)
• attract profitable leak detection and repair work during off-peak periods
• smile when customers request leak diagnoses and repairs

The SEALTECH 43OR makes ingenious use of a very simple fact: air flowing through an opening covered with a soapy water ("surfactant") solution produces a bubble precisely at the opening. The system draws outside air into the RV via the roof vent, where it is dispersed, creating a positive interior pressure. This pressure difference causes air to flow outward through any outer skin faults. The application of a soapy water solution to selected areas of the outer skin results in a very visible bubble exactly over each fault.

As each RV design has different characteristics, we have incorporated an impeller RPM controller to permit control of airflow and pressure. An accurate, easily read differential pressure gauge is also included. Power draw is 4.9 amps.

This system is extremely simple to use. Owners have been able to assign leak diagnosis and recording to inexpensive junior staff, freeing up more experienced technicians for leak repair and other tasks requiring greater expertise.

Because of the large surface areas involved, and the numerous routes for air to escape a typical RV, the SEALTECH 43OR is engineered and built to produce high air flow, but only to safe nominal pressures. All components were selected following careful evaluation, and are of premium quality to provide many years of safe, trouble free operation. The product carries a one-year full parts and labor warranty.

Following its spring, 1999 introduction, the system has been acquired by many of the premier RV manufacturers, dealerships and other repair facilities throughout North America. Users are unanimous in their praise for this sure – fire solution to the perennial problem of finding water leaks for repair, and subsequent testing of completed repairs.
