H-10 is 1/2 oz, I think. That is my choice. I've been burned by the others too many times.

Most leak detector specifications claim to detect 1 oz or less yearly leak rate.

Many years ago they set a standard which has never been matched in my experience.

Yup. The H-10 finds leaks. Really.

I have found so many leaks coming behind guys that don't use an H-10 that it isn't funny.

Might be more expensive, but miss a leak or two and that extra money you saved disappeared in one callback.
