Water Tracing Dyes
Water tracing dyes by Chromatech are used by public works departments, hydro geologists, engineers, and sanitary authorities to trace water.
Applications include:
- Detecting leaks in sewage systems, ponds and closed systems
- Detecting toilet tank leaks in plumbing tracing and septic system tracing
- Detecting illegal sewer connections
- Monitoring water flow and mapping
Choose a dye color based on contrast to the background of the water body.
For example, red dyes provide contrast against heavy concentrations of algae.
Many water tracing dyes are available in both liquid and powder. Contact your local authorities to determine dye suitability specific to your geographic area.
