    Hi Sidhum

    You don't say what caused the 3 leaks. Are these all "pinholes" that have popped up, or are these faulty soldered joints, or a combination of different things, etc.

    Are the leaks exclusive to cold water pipes or hot water pipes or both hot and cold?

    How about time frame... all happening around the same time or over several years?

    Back to you...
