    PVC suction pipe leak repair from the inside
    I have a PVC suction pipe line, buried, from my pond to to the motor... It appears to have an 'air' leak... What material and process(an inserted/water sealed in place (internal liner) or liquid sealer material would be great) can be use to repair any/all air leaks in the line with out first doing a pressue test of the line... THE CURRENT line has several elbows, a union and inline pvc on/off valve. If I cannot figure a way I will have to dig-up and replace the line... I assume a flexible, PVC suction would be best.
    Thanks,

    Have you considered putting your pump at the other end of this line. Ound pumps push water way better than they suck water. This will not fix things 100% but you'll also see where the leak is because it will trun from an air leak to a water leak.
