Leak detection and tracing

Yes. UV tracing is extremely reliable for leak detection in many settings: cold and hot‑water systems, underfloor heating, rooftop terraces, balcony or shower waterproofing, pools, spas, basins, and (in some cases) drainage networks. The fluorescent tracer follows the exact path of the water, and UV illumination pinpoints the leak source precisely.

No. The method is very simple and intuitive: inject the tracer into the system, let it circulate to the leak, then scan surfaces with the included UV lamp. The leak fluoresces visibly. No mandatory training is required. Each kit includes a step‑by‑step guide, and our technical support is available remotely if needed.

No. All our tracers are non‑toxic, environmentally safe, compliant with safety standards, and some are even potable‑water compatible. They don’t leave permanent stains, are biodegradable, and wash off easily with clear water.

Absolutely. Most tracers work in both pressurized systems (heating, sanitary water) and gravity-fed networks (drainage, terraces). It is simply recommended to adjust the dosage according to circuit volume and ensure normal flow for tracer migration. We provide precise dosage guidelines for each use case.

The tracer stays visible while present but can be rinsed away and degrades naturally over time. Indoors, it is often removed in one or two rinses. Outdoors, exposure to daylight helps its breakdown. No lasting stains, and no long‑term contamination risk.

Yes, this is one of the most common applications. The UV tracer helps detect micro‑leaks in supply or return lines, liner, skimmer, jets, etc. A dosage recommendation is provided based on the water volume.

Yes, this is one of the most common applications!

The UV tracer easily detects:
- Micro-leaks in supply or return lines
- Leaks in liners, skimmers, nozzles, etc.
- A specific dosage is provided based on the volume of water to be treated.

Optimal detection occurs in reduced light, but complete darkness isn’t necessary. Our professional UV lamps are powerful enough to work in daylight in shaded areas (under sinks, in basements, crawlspaces). Outdoors, a tarp or cover is often enough to create shade.

Yes. UV tracer diagnostics are particularly suited to these areas: EPDM, PVC or bitumen membranes, tile-on-pedestal decks, waterproof balconies and terraces. The tracer migrates by gravity and fluoresces at leak points. A sprayer or watering can may be used depending on the case.
