Fluorescent Yellow Leak Detection Kit

Works as directed and is easy to use.

My video shows my first try using this fluorescent dye. My pool has a very slow leak from the spa into the pool. I'm convinced that the leak is through a grout line either below or between the single row of tiles that surround the top of the spa. The spa water drips through the stone wall separating it from the pool all night after the pump shuts off. The instructions on the dye bottle call for positioning the dispensing tip 1/2" from the suspected leak. Not knowing where the leak was, I held the tip maybe 6" above the water surface and dispensed a ribbon. The dye did not seem to disappear through a leak but I did see dye entering the pool below. I wasn't able to tell exactly where the leak was. This was obviously not the best way to dispense the dye. I'll try again by dispensing small quantities of dye near each vertical grout line, one at a time, until I can track down the leak. I have no doubt that I'll be able to locate my leak but it's small enough that it will take time. I like the ease with which I can see the dye in my pool and how it disperses slowly in calm water. As the description says, it does look fluorescent in daylight - like a yellow-green. The kit came with plenty of dye and two syringes with two different dispensing tips. I've been needing a syringe like this for years for precision dispensing of glue, but I couldn't find one. The bottom line: This is a nice leak detection kit at a good price.

Bottle of dye opened and foil peeled back. Dye all over my hands and kitchen counter. I needed it right away so I used the dye kit. It worked well. I was pleased with the product.

This dye is very visible and easy to use. I found the leak in no time.

Works great. We'll worth the price compared to using food coloring or pH ragent to find a leak.

Such a positive way to find leaks. Used it today. Pool leak guy used to charge me $260 for a leak. This kit plus some pool epoxy and an hour and leak is fixed!

Five stars for the value, but after having leak detection come out two times in our four seasons it’s become clear that finding these little leaks is an art, best served by their ultrasound technology. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be trying, but water movement, and knowing exactly where to look is a major part of this. This time they let me get in and try to find the leak with the dye as they were finding them, and I still could not get the die to go into the small pinholes like they could…… because they identified the exact location of the hole with the ultrasound. I keep saying ultrasound, it is not ultrasound. It is simply gear that helps you hear the leak. Either way a five star purchase because I still like to check around my lights, my return jets and of course the skimmer here and there and it’s so darn affordable

Was still hard to locate leak.
