Dye testing involves introducing a concentrated, non-staining tracer dye into a water system or suspected leak location and observing where the dye emerges to confirm and trace the water path. In pool and spa leak detection, dye is injected near cracks, fittings, and light niches to observe the dye flow toward the leak. For drain and sewer systems, fluorescent dye is flushed and then detected downstream or in the surrounding environment with the naked eye or UV light. Dye testing is simple, inexpensive, and provides definitive visual confirmation of water flow paths.
