What's the story on products that claim to fix leaks in pool piping (e.g., Fix A Leak and other similar products)?

If your talking about liquid type leak sealent, small leak it might work(1/2"or less per day) otherwise need to repair physicaly.

I have never known any of the leak products that work longer than a cosmetic fix to get past handover.

I have a pool loosing water at a rate of about 0.5 litters per minute. Do you have a product that can stop that leak?

Your best bet is to hire a leak professional to locate & repair the leak. Leak sealer products generally don't work. Save your money.
