I've used Flair-it, Shark bite and Apollo, all are permanent if you want them to be. First use of Flare-it was about 10 years ago, the Apollo were from 2011 and flair-it this summer. no leaks with any of them. I tried the Apollo on a coldwater pipe that was leaking at the crimp, didn't seal so tried shark-bite and it worked fine. The existing crimp failed and I had to cut it off, it left a scar on the pipe and the Apollo wasn't deep enough to cover the scar and the Shark-Bite did. Apollo is like a Shark-bite but plastic. Shop did a repair while we were in Elhart and they worked fine. They all cost about the same.
