What is fluorescent dye testing?
Dye testing adds a safe fluorescent dye to water and follows where it goes. It's especially effective for pools, decks, drains and fixtures — confirming whether water is escaping through a shell, a fitting or a specific joint, and proving the path the water takes.
How it works
- 1Non-toxic dye is added at the suspected source.
- 2We observe where the coloured water emerges or disappears.
- 3UV light enhances faint traces where needed.
- 4The confirmed path identifies the leak.
Advantages
Visually confirms the water path
Ideal for pools, decks and drains
Safe and inexpensive
Distinguishes shell vs. plumbing leaks
Where we use it
Dye Testing — FAQs
Is dye testing good for pools?
Yes — it's a primary method for confirming shell and fitting leaks in pools and spas.
Is the dye harmful?
No — we use non-toxic tracer dyes that are safe for plumbing and pools.
