how much air freshener do you need to use? Forest Wilson Cherokee Fire In a message dated 1/7/2009 10:34:31 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Chris, Something I saw done in "the good old days" was to trip the system (water valve closed) and repressurize with liquid air freshener (Air Wick) in the air supply line. You can then go looking for the smell. If you have a lot of leaks, it won't help you find them, but the building sure will smell nice. I've also heard of using ultrasonic "sniffers" to find leaks, but it won't work very well if the pipes are buried in insulation.
