Pulsar 2000 – Line Tracer

I used to try leak detection I wasn't too successful with it.
I bought a system from Texas "Pulsar". It came with geo phones (they hurt my ears) electronic leak listening device line energizer and wand to trace the line. Anyways I was thinking of buying this unit looks interesting?

They have different options available.
Goldack used to be the system everyone used for location American Leak detection and CPL Cable Pile Location

Perhaps that product in the video is high-quality; I don't know and so can't comment on it.

I pulled up a video of a plumber out in Washington state who was using the LD-12 made by SubSurface. In his video he did the locate on a Saturday, marked the driveway and left. His men come Monday and did the repair. His mark was dead center over the leak. So that's why I bought the same unit that he has.

thanks for the link what is "ground milking"?
I was reading some of your old posts on locating slab leaks.

I've heard good things about Sewerin products. Never used them though. We had a generic unit in TX, and I wasn't one of the leak detection guys.

I’m running goldak at the moment. Works good enough. Used general gen-ear or something like that and it was good to start. I have seen a system where they charge the lines with hydrogen and have a meter that is testing the air for hydrogen. Seems pretty neat. I’ll have to find a link if I can

Ground 'miking' seems to refer to just listening to the ground with the microphone of the unit. The ground mic picks up any sounds and sends them to the amplifier; the amplifier then sends the sounds to the headphones.

My old employers, both of them, had the “gen-ear”. It would work if you put air on the lines and listened for the squirts. It was neat how you could also hear a radio or tv that was on next door sometimes.

The gen ear was a good unit. Then I started using the goldak 777 and I was blown away at how much easier it was to hear leaks. Haven’t gone back to the gen ear since

So if you bought one today it would be a goldak 777 ? How much $

The one I use is the companies. I don’t have any complaints with it. However, I would like to try out the one I previously linked. They’re both around $3k.

It looks good on paper and the video they have. If I was paying for it myself I would absolutely make sure I would be able to demo a unit to see if it would work for me.

After I saw this plumber's video, and observed the leak detection equipment that he uses, I purchased the same unit.
I have not been disappointed.
