John I didn't work on your project to completion, so I'm not aware of the details other than what you've posted to the forum. Per my post I am identifying 3 projects where polymer floated - did your product float? IIRC you applied a pail of product, which is either 1/4-1/2 a unit, and worked directly with Aquaben regarding application method and strategy. Polymer must remain hydrated to remain activated - if water level is allowed to drop below the leak that's going to be a problem once refilled - not sure if that occurred here or not. Constant head pressure also seems to be a key for sealing. In terms of success, I consider anything over 50% reduction a success. Entirely possible your expectations for your investment may have been a tad assertive? At any rate I go to great lengths on the forum and during my volunteer consultations to manage expectations - one critical element is reiterating and stressing the detail that multiple applications may be necessary and it's not a silver bullet. All data on this product is important for us to share as we're still in the preliminary research stages, so thanks again for sharing your pail project results.
