Review: Brilliant little device. Could be a lifesaver! - I had builders in recently and the gas pipework was altered. I've had the odd little whiff of gas every now and then while doing some work in the cupboard, but didn't think much of it. Then I noticed I was waking up feeling dizzy. I ordered one of these, found the leak straight away, and had the builder back here to fix it within the hour. It's worth noting that the first thing he did was spray it with soapy water, and my detector could no longer find a leak after that, so make sure you test it whilst dry. It's as simple as turning it on outside and turning the sensitivity dial down to where the alarm stops. Then just move it around the suspected areas. I tested it with a lighter too, which proved it worked. If nothing else, the peace of mind this brings is worth the price tag alone. I was sceptical of the cheap yellow housing, but It helped me pinpoint a leak without relying on someone else who may have missed it. Obviously if you smell gas, you should call the gas network immediately, but this is handy to confirm your suspicions.
Review: Simply brilliant - and potentially life saving - We’ve just had our gas meter exchanged this week and, during the exchange, they tested the supply for leaks. Anything more than a 4 millibar drop in pressure results in the engineer immediately shutting off the supply. Ours was a 3 millibar drop; not an emergency, but enough to warrant attention. We only moved in a few weeks ago and noticed a slight gas smell in the kitchen and it would make sense, if there was a leak, that that’s where it would be as our only gas appliances (boiler, hob, range) are all in that room. I followed the instructions and let this warm up outside, adjusted the sensitivity so the first led was just not appearing, took a step into the kitchen and the alarm started going off. What I was amazed at however was how easily I was able to locate and confirm a gas leak from behind the range. An engineer will be called and we’ll get this sorted. Video of this in action attached - it’s incredibly easy and simple to use. Very, very impressed!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will detect a gas leak from a gas fireplace?**
A: Yes, there should be no problem detecting a gas leak from a gas fireplace.

**Q: The led gas indicator has 5 lights constsntly lit up. adjusting the sensitivity doesnt change the amount of led's lit and it doesnt alarm, what could**
A: It either means you either got a really bad gas leak or that device is faulty...if u smell gas and if this gas pipe  is  the pipe bringing gas into your home national grid fix for free as their responible for that but work inside home are homeowners responsibility either way they come out within 1-3 hrs worst case scenarios turn off gas till safe........try it outside in fresh air see if lowering sensitity makes it go down or not, 1 warning tho when i blew on mine the lights shot up so maybe not if windy!!!......this item found a gas leak of someone who didnt want to report as wasnt  sure...i put sensitiviy to barely 1 bar then all 5 lit at the leak,  AND the workers were impressed with it and is now all  fixed after a night day inconvenience

**Q: Could this be used to detect sewarge at my local bathing place in hove east sussex? or is there something else i could use? thanks.**
A: This device is not for testing for sewage, but it’s great at finding a leak around your gas meter. You need a clean water test kit for checking for water pollution.

**Q: Can this detect isobutane (R600a)?**
A: Butane is listed so assume isobutane would almost certainly be detected too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant little device. Could be a lifesaver!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but over-sensitive
*by O***7 on 11 December 2020*

It works well and has helped me to accurately locate butane leaks in my campervan. However the sensitivity is too high, meaning that it has to be turned right to the bottom setting or it goes off all the time, even in fresh air. Essentially you only get two results: either there is gas present, or there isn't. It's very difficult to tell whether a leak is big or small. Still, if you're looking to pinpoint where a leak is coming from, it will do the job nicely.
