Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use UV lights for leak detection?

  • The UV fluorescent additive is mixed with a fluid system, such as water, oils, fuels, coolants & refrigerants.
  • The equipment is run normally to allow the fluorescent additive to circulate.
  • If a leak occurs, the UV fluorescent tracer will be carried by the fluid and will remain at the site of the leak.

How long does the UV leak detection dye remain in the air conditioning system?

The dye can remain indefinitely in the system and has no effect on system components or performance.

How long does it take for UV dye to work?

It can take anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the system.
