A leak detection specialist is only as good as the tools and detection equipment they have available in their “toolkit”. Whether the professional is a plumber, water company technician or leakage expert, advanced equipment can make the leak detection process much smoother. This can benefit both the client and the user, helping to meet leak detection targets, reduce difficult time-consuming jobs together with associated cost reductions.
Ferret Technology’s newly released Leak Locator combines the dynamism of hydraulic technology with easy-to-use features to find leaks, fast. Our latest product has been adapted and modified from the original Ferret device launched in 2012, following industry feedback and technological advances. This makes it even more efficient, cheaper, more portable and it’s even self-serviceable. If you didn’t get a Ferret Leak Locator the first time around, now is the time to invest in this tried and tested technology.
Whatever your chosen leak detection technology, acoustic based or gas injection, there will always be a problem job that can seriously affect planned work for repair and maintenance teams, resulting in extended job times, extra travelling and often increased reinstatement costs. In all probability, success rates of between 90% to 95% can be achieved. For the serious operator, the simplicity and on-site reliability of the Ferret Leak Locator makes it a “must have tool”. It eliminates the worry of problem jobs, enabling you to plan better with more jobs fitted within the working day. Accuracy means there’s no need for unnecessary cutting and capping and numerous costly excavations; the Ferret Head will find the leak within millimetres.
Leak Locator performance enhancers
While the Ferret Leak Locator is the go-to device for leak detection in the industry, there are various other tools that can support the process. Our years of experience in the industry and the continuing feedback from our customers who have used Ferret on many thousands of jobs since launching in 2008, mean we are aware of a range of compatible tried and tested equipment, which leads to faster and more efficient leak detection.
Our system bundles are designed to meet the operational needs of either a single operator or a company with numerous leak detection teams. They are all attractively priced when purchased from Ferret Technology as a package, with discount levels which are unlikely to be improved on if the equipment items were purchased individually.
Bundle A
This is our standard and most popular leak detection package, that consists of the Leak Locator itself, as well as some basic additions such as Ferret Heads (inflatable balloons) and connection hoses. For £3199, bundle A, as many of our customers have proved, is sufficient to raise job productivity and success rates compared to companies relying on more traditional acoustic and gas detection techniques.
It is worth noting that for an additional £299, the Ferret can be supplied with Sonde which is located just behind the Ferret Head. This enable pin-point location to within a few millimetres when using a CAT & Genny (see bundles C and D).
The bundle includes: • The Ferret Leak Locator • Connection hoses: Inlet and Outlet • Universal Coupler Kit - 15mm (3/8") to 35mm (1&1/2")(Larger sizes on request) • Pack of 3 Ferret Heads - One each of size 0, 1 and 2 • Carry Case - to easily store and transport your Ferret Leak Locator and accompanying equipment
While these Ferret Head sizes should get you started on your faster trace and access route, we recommend that you purchase additional Ferret Heads with this package to ensure you have all the necessary sizes for a range of pipe sizes.
Bundle B
Bundle B is slightly more advanced, including a measuring wheel for easier on-site distance measurements. A range of the most popular Ferret Heads has been included also. This additional equipment would cost over £4,000 elsewhere on the internet, but we can offer this package at a discount rate of £3,677.
Items include: • The Ferret Leak Locator • Connection hoses: Inlet and Outlet • Universal Coupler Kit - 15mm (3/8") to 35mm (1&1/2") (Larger sizes on request) • Carry Case to easily store and transport your Ferret Leak Locator and accompanying equipment • Measuring Wheel (Rotosure RES1000) with accompanying bag • Multi size pack of Ferret Heads for working in small diameter water supply pipes with internal diameter ranging between 9.5mm and 20mm.

Bundle C
The third bundle on our online Shop incorporates a CAT and Genny in the package. These are extremely useful tools for tracing the line of a plastic pipe using the umbilical cord incorporated in the Ferret. It can also be used for avoiding underground cables that could cause havoc when excavating around your leaking pipe. We’re able to offer bundle C at a discounted rate of £4,277, down from £4,800 elsewhere online.
The full bundle includes: • The Ferret Leak Locator (An additional £299 for Sonde option) • Connection hoses: Inlet and Outlet • Universal Coupler Kit - 15mm (3/8") to 35mm (1&1/2") (Larger sizes on request) • Carry Case - to easily store and transport your Ferret Leak Locator and accompanying equipment • C-Scope CAT (CXL3) & Genny (SGA3) Pipe Tracing Equipment with carry bag • Multi size pack of Ferret Heads for working in small diameter water supply pipes with internal diameter ranging between 9.5mm and 20mm.

Complete with a huge range of Ferret Head sizes and leak detection accompaniments, this bundle allows you to locate a leak of any size pipe up to 50mm ID, with ease and precision.
