Correcting leaks
1. Use an electronic leak detector to check all areas of the inlet and plumbing
that are potential sources of a leak.
2. Tighten loose connections to correct leaks, if necessary. You may need
to repeat the leak test.
3. If the pressure drop is now 1.0 or less, you can consider the inlet system
leak-free. If the pressure drops faster than the acceptable rate, continue
to search for leaks and repeat the pressure test.
