1. Apply the PosiTest AIR Test Solution to the test area
2. Place the clear Test Chamber over the test area
3. Initiate the test (depressurize the chamber)
The location of an air leak is indicated by bubbling of the Test Solution. An estimate of the relative size of the leak can be made based on the size and speed with which the bubbles form. The image below demonstrates an air leak is present (FAIL test result)
Upon completion of the test, the maximum pressure differential and duration of the test will flash on the display.
4. Store Test Result (optional)
The PosiTest AIR's internal memory can store up to 200 test results which can be transferred to a PC using PosiSoft 3.0 Desktop Software. Test results include rate of depressurization, pressure differential limit, time duration and user-entered PASS/FAIL conclusion.

Do your instruments require any formal training for use? Do you offer ‘demo’ models?
No. Our instruments are designed for simple operation, feature easy-to-use menus, both full and quick instruction manuals, and helpful videos. In lieu of demonstration models, we provide unlimited technical support via telephone and/or email, and a limited 30-day money back guarantee.
Does the PosiTest AIR include a certificate of calibration?
The PosiTest AIR arrives fully calibrated and ready to measure. A long-form Certificate of Calibration showing traceability to a national standard is included at no additional expense. For organizations with re-certification requirements, the PosiTest AIR may be returned at regular intervals for calibration. The manufacturer recommends that our customers establish their instrument calibration intervals based upon their own experience and work environment. Based on our product knowledge, data and customer feedback, a one year calibration interval from either the date of calibration, date of purchase, or date of receipt is a typical starting point.
Does the PosiTest AIR include fixtures for testing corners or angled surfaces?
The PosiTest AIR includes a dome test chamber. No other test chamber configurations are available from the manufacturer.
Can dish soap be used instead of the included solution?
The manufacturer recommends the use of PosiTest AIR Test Solution only. The Test Solution is specially formulated not to have any adverse effects on waterproofing, roofing, air barrier membranes or the PosiTest AIR unit.
Can the solution included with the PosiTest AIR be used at low temperatures?
The included solution is suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -10° C to 65° C. Low temperature fluid is available as an accessory item and is suitable for use between -20°C and 65°C.
What is the shelf life of the solution included with the PosiTest AIR?
Based upon our observations, the test solution is completely shelf-stable and will not lose efficacy over time.
No. Our instruments are designed for simple operation, feature easy-to-use menus, both full and quick instruction manuals, and helpful videos. In lieu of demonstration models, we provide unlimited technical support via telephone and/or email, and a limited 30-day money back guarantee.
