  UV tracer dyes

  UV dye : the ultimate solution for leak detection and fluid tracing

  UV dyes are fluorescent tracers used for leak detection and fluid flow monitoring across various industrial and environmental applications. Their strong reactivity to ultraviolet (UV) light allows immediate visualisation, making them an efficient and rapid solution for identifying anomalies in hydraulic circuits, pipelines, and cooling systems. Their ability to easily integrate with different fluids makes them an essential tool for professionals seeking to ensure the integrity of their infrastructures.

  To activate fluorescence, use a 365 nm UV lamp.

  What is a UV dye and how does it work?

  A fluorescent tracer reactive to UV light

  A UV dye is a fluorescent substance that emits a bright, visible glow when exposed to UV light. This reaction enables quick and precise identification of fluid flows or leaks within complex systems such as water networks, hydraulic circuits, industrial oils, and fuels. This type of tracer is highly appreciated for its ability to reveal faults without requiring dismantling or invasive intervention.

  In field conditions, the LUX 60 UV lamp provides a remarkably sharp fluorescent effect.

  Depending on its formulation, a UV dye may appear in several colours, including yellow, green, red, or blue. This colour diversity allows multiple circuits to be traced simultaneously without any risk of confusion between fluids. Some dyes are designed to mix with water-based solutions, while others are suitable for oils and hydrocarbons, ensuring maximum efficiency according to the application.

  A reliable and fast leak detection method

  Thanks to its strong visibility under UV light, fluorescent dye leak tracing enables rapid localisation of leak points without requiring destructive testing or complex interventions such as network shutdowns for smoke testing. This method is widely adopted in industrial maintenance and infrastructure management, where fast intervention is essential to prevent production downtime and minimise repair costs.

  Its effectiveness lies in its ability to disperse evenly and adhere to affected surfaces, ensuring optimal traceability and easy identification of problem areas. Moreover, UV dyes provide a clear visualisation of fluid movement within complex networks—a valuable advantage for diagnosing issues in large-scale industrial systems.

  Applications of UV dyes

  Leak detection in plumbing systems

  UV dyes are widely used to detect hidden leaks in plumbing networks. By adding a fluorescent tracer to water, leaks can be pinpointed under a UV inspection lamp, whether they occur beneath a sink, behind a wall, or under a concrete slab. This technique enables targeted repairs, avoiding unnecessary demolition work.

  For localised testing, dye syringes offer great precision and convenience.

  Pipeline and drainage network tracing

  For drainage system inspections, UV dyes help map water pathways using inflatable pipe stoppers, identifying leaks or fractures in pipes. Their rapid dispersion and high visibility in low-light environments make them invaluable for water management professionals.

  If a steady flow must be maintained, use a DN50 through-flow stopper.

  Roof and terrace waterproofing tests

  Flat roofs and terraces must be perfectly watertight to prevent long-term structural damage. Injecting UV dye into the drainage system allows verification of its integrity and detection of potential infiltration points. This non-invasive technique is increasingly adopted by building professionals for preventive diagnostics.

  For PVC membranes, an injection nozzle simplifies the process.

  Swimming pool leak detection

  Using UV dyes in swimming pools is an effective method for detecting leaks in liners, joints, and pipelines. By adding fluorescent dye to the water and illuminating it with a UV lamp, it becomes easy to identify leakage points, even in hard-to-reach areas.

  For poolside inspection, use the LUX 28 UV lamp for best results.

  Automotive leak detection

  In the automotive sector, UV dyes are widely used to detect leaks in cooling systems, air conditioning circuits, and fuel lines. Adding a small amount of tracer to the liquid allows instant identification of the leak source under UV light, significantly reducing diagnostic and repair time.

  For optimal contrast, select UV COLOR Green.

  Air conditioning and refrigeration systems

  Both residential and industrial HVAC systems can suffer from refrigerant leaks that compromise performance. UV dyes offer a fast and reliable way to identify these leaks, preventing costly breakdowns and maintaining system efficiency.

  These applications highlight the efficiency and versatility of UV dyes for leak detection and fluid tracing. Their use improves maintenance operations, prevents unnecessary losses, and optimises technical interventions across a wide range of industries.

  Which type of UV dye should you choose ?

  Water-soluble fluorescent tracers

  These dyes are ideal for tracing potable water networks, sewers, and retention basins. They are commonly used to locate water losses and map hydraulic flows. Being biodegradable, they are environmentally friendly and compatible with most pipe materials (PVC, cast iron, steel). They are also used in groundwater monitoring and agricultural drainage systems.

  In clear water, fluorescein powder remains a reliable classic.

  UV dyes for oils and fuels

  Specifically formulated for lubrication circuits and fuel tanks, these tracing dyes are miscible with hydrocarbons, allowing precise leak detection without altering fluid properties. Their high chemical stability makes them suitable for industrial environments with temperature and pressure variations. They are also used in heavy machinery and high-performance engines maintenance.

  Fluorescent powders and dye tablets

  Powdered and tablet-based fluorescent tracers offer a practical solution for occasional tracing tests and flow path detection in pipes. They are especially useful where adding liquid dye is not feasible.

  Tracer dyes

  Tracer dyes : an essential solution for leak detection

  Non-fluorescent tracer dyes are designed to be soluble in water or other liquids. Once added to a fluid, they disperse evenly and follow the natural flow of the liquid, allowing leaks to be detected and water movement to be analysed within a given circuit. Their strong colouring power ensures maximum visibility to the naked eye, making technical interventions easier and more accurate. These products are used in a wide range of applications, from plumbing maintenance to wastewater network monitoring and hydrological analysis.

  To prevent backflow, isolate the branch using inflatable pipe stoppers suited to the pipe diameter.

  Non-fluorescent tracer dyes: typical applications

  Non-fluorescent tracer dyes are mainly used in situations requiring simple visual identification without the need for UV lamps. They are ideal for leak detection in pipelines, water flow tracking in rivers, and infiltration studies in buildings. In murky water, purple dye is recommended for higher contrast. Their use is particularly valued in environments where fluorescent substances are not suitable due to technical or regulatory restrictions.

  Visual pipeline tracing

  Non-fluorescent tracer dyes in blue, red, green, yellow, orange, and violet provide an effective way to visually monitor liquid flow through pipeline systems. Their high visibility allows rapid identification of flow paths, making them particularly useful for mapping complex networks or identifying connection errors. Construction and sanitation professionals frequently use them to optimise infrastructure maintenance. Additionally, these dyes can be applied in renovation or inspection projects to verify circuit continuity and assess overall condition.

  If continuous flow must be maintained, use a DN50 through-flow stopper.

  Leak detection in drinking water networks

  In drinking water systems, leak detection is crucial to prevent unnecessary water loss and ensure supply quality. Non-fluorescent tracer dyes, compliant with sanitary regulations, are used to locate leaks without compromising water potability. They allow accurate identification of problematic zones, making repair work faster and less invasive.

  Their use is especially relevant in regions with limited water resources, where every loss represents a significant cost. For quick testing, use a ready-to-use dye syringe.

  Tracing in hygienically sensitive environments

  In healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical, and food-processing industries, non-fluorescent tracer dyes comply with strict hygiene and safety standards. They are used to check for cross-contamination, ensure proper circuit operation, and maintain the integrity of distribution systems without altering the tested fluids. To visualise airflow, use our smoke generators. Their use is essential for maintaining sanitary compliance and consumer protection. In some cases, these dyes are used to test filtration system integrity and detect potential leaks that could cause contamination. In clear water, blue dye provides excellent contrast.

  inflatable pipe stoppers

  Pipe stopper balloons : definition, professional applications and expert guide

  On site, during emergency work or testing phases, there is a tool that saves time, prevents leaks and secures interventions: the inflatable pipe stopper (also known as a pipe plug or pipe testing balloon).

  This compact yet powerful tool plays a key role in controlling and isolating pipe networks. It allows temporary sealing of a pipe to block flow, perform a leak or pressure test, or work on a section without draining the entire system.

  As field professionals know, mastering temporary sealing is critical for both safety and operational efficiency. At Fluotracking, we support plumbers, drain technicians, utilities and industrial operators with high-performance, reliable and field-proven pipe stopper solutions.

  This expert guide covers everything you need to know about pipe stopper balloons: technical definition, key applications, selection criteria, safety guidelines and expert usage tips from real-world experience.

  What is an inflatable pipe stopper ?

  A pipe stopper balloon is a flexible inflatable device designed to temporarily seal the inside of a pipe. It blocks the passage of a fluid — water, air, gas, sludge or chemicals — in a watertight and secure manner without damaging the pipework.

  Technically, a pipe stopper is made up of :

  • A flexible rubber or reinforced polymer body (usually PVC, EPDM or neoprene), resistant to pressure and chemical exposure.
  • A Schrader or industrial inflation valve, allowing inflation with a manual pump or air compressor.
  • Optionally, an integrated bypass, allowing controlled fluid passage during testing or when flow interruption is not required.

  The principle is simple yet powerful: once inserted into the pipe (wet or dry), the stopper is inflated to the recommended pressure. It conforms perfectly to the pipe wall and forms a secure, tight seal.

  This solution is non-invasive, reversible, versatile and extremely quick to install, avoiding heavy dismantling or full network shutdowns.

  Professional applications : where, when and why to use pipe stopper balloons

  1. Pipe stopper balloons in plumbing

  In plumbing operations, whether domestic or industrial, a pipe stopper enables targeted intervention on a specific section without draining the entire network.

  For example, when replacing a trap, joint or waste pipe, insert a small inflatable plug into the targeted section, inflate it, and work safely and dry. This prevents wastewater backflow, odours and contamination, allowing a clean, quick and localised repair.

  This is particularly useful in occupied environments (homes, hotels, offices), where shutting down entire systems is not feasible.

  For air tests, use a smoke generator to instantly locate leaks. For simple visual tracing, fluorescent or non-fluorescent dyes are highly effective.

  2. Pipe stopper balloons for drainage and sewer testing

  Air and fluorescein leak tests have become essential when commissioning new drainage systems. The pipe stopper balloon plays a central role here.

  It is used to seal both ends of a pipe section, creating a closed volume. Then, air pressure or a tracer dye such as fluorescein is injected to verify network integrity and detect leaks, cracks or faulty joints.

  At Fluotracking, we supply pipe stoppers designed specifically for such tests — high-pressure resistant and compatible with chemical tracers. These tests ensure compliance with standards such as EN 1610 and French technical guideline Fascicule 70.

  For dye tracing, use our UV-compatible tracing liquids and view results under 365 nm UV lamps.

  3. Pipe stopper balloons in construction and civil engineering

  On construction sites, during infrastructure work or pipe rehabilitation, some network sections are installed but not yet connected. To prevent unwanted water ingress, these sections are sealed with inflatable stoppers.

  The goal: prevent water stagnation, site contamination, or ground instability caused by uncontrolled inflows.

  The stopper is often used preventively, sometimes for several weeks, to maintain pipeline integrity during construction. It protects trenches, manholes and temporary installations, ensuring site cleanliness and safety until final connection.

  For large-scale applications, use our FS200 smoke generator for long-lasting smoke visibility.

  4. Industrial use of pipe stopper balloons

  In industrial environments (chemical, petrochemical, food processing, water treatment), networks often carry pressurised or corrosive fluids.

  During maintenance or valve replacement, it is rarely possible to shut down the entire system. In these cases, an inflatable pipe plug isolates a specific branch, prevents cross-contamination, and ensures operator safety.

  Fluotracking industrial-grade stoppers are built with materials compatible with aggressive media and extended pressure ranges, guaranteeing durability and reliability in demanding conditions.

  5. Emergency interventions

  When crisis strikes — a burst pipe, active leak, blockage or sudden backflow — quick action is vital.

  The inflatable pipe stopper provides an immediate emergency solution to stop the flow before permanent repair. It saves time, reduces damage, limits contamination and can even prevent serious flooding or infrastructure loss.

  In emergencies, ease of use is key: simply access the opening, insert the stopper, inflate it, and flow is stopped within seconds.

  For leak confirmation, use the LUX 60 + UV kit for accelerated diagnosis.

  How to choose the right pipe stopper: professional guide

  1. Pipe diameter and compatibility

  The first factor to consider is the internal pipe diameter. Each stopper is designed for a specific range, e.g. DN 50–100 mm, DN 100–200 mm, etc.

  A stopper that is too small will not ensure a proper seal; one that is too large may not fit or could get stuck.

  At Fluotracking, every stopper is clearly labelled with its compatible range, and our experts help you choose the best match for your network (PVC, cast iron, HDPE, concrete, etc.).

  2. Type of fluid to contain : water, air, gas or chemicals

  The type of fluid you intend to block or test also determines the stopper required :

  • Water (clean or wastewater): standard models are suitable.
  • Air or gas: choose a high-pressure-resistant model with reinforced fittings.
  • Chemical or aggressive fluids: opt for EPDM, neoprene or nitrile rubber materials.

  We advise you according to the fluid nature, temperature, viscosity and intended sealing duration. For aqueous tracing, use fluorescein for clear, visible tracking.

  3. Solid vs. bypass stopper

  A solid pipe stopper blocks flow completely — ideal for isolating sections before maintenance or leak repair.

  A bypass stopper features a central passage (often threaded) that allows controlled flow of air, water or tracer dyes. This is essential for fluorescein or smoke leak tests.

  We offer both types, with various bypass diameters compatible with your existing fittings.

  For controlled fluid flow, choose a DN50 through-bypass stopper.

  4. Safety and usage precautions

  Pipe stopper balloons are technical devices that require careful handling. Follow these essential rules :

  • Always inspect the stopper visually before use.
  • Ensure the pipe is free from sharp debris or rough edges.
  • Never exceed the recommended inflation pressure.
  • Use a pressure gauge for continuous monitoring.
  • Inflate only once in position, never outside the pipe.

  Fluotracking tip: When working on pressurised or loaded systems, use an external restraint system (chain, rope, threaded cap) to prevent unintentional displacement.

  Why choose Fluotracking pipe stopper balloons ? Expertise, reliability and professional support

  Smoke generators

  Smoke generators: leak detection and network inspection

  Smoke generators are essential tools for many professionals in the construction, plumbing, and infrastructure sectors. Their use allows the precise visualisation of leaks, infiltrations and anomalies in drainage, ventilation and pipe systems. Thanks to their ability to produce dense, visible smoke, these devices make it easy to detect air or fluid leaks, seal defects and weak points within a network.

  What is a smoke generator and what is it used for ?

  A smoke generator, much like fluorescent tracing dyes, is a device designed to produce dense smoke, typically used to detect leaks, verify ventilation system integrity, or test the tightness of pipes and infrastructures. It works through a chemical or thermal reaction that generates visible smoke, which travels through a system or confined space, revealing any leaks or abnormal air movements.

  Smoke generators come in several forms: cartridge, liquid or powder-based. Each has specific properties suited to particular applications. For instance, liquid-based smoke generators are preferred for their long diffusion time, while cartridge models are favoured for quick, simple inspections.

  Professional applications of smoke generators

  1. Plumbing and drainage systems

  Like UV dyes, smoke generators are widely used to locate leaks in drainage networks and plumbing systems. By introducing dense smoke into the pipes, technicians can immediately identify abnormal exit points, revealing cracks, faulty joints or infiltration zones. This non-destructive method allows precise diagnostics without dismantling the installation, significantly reducing cost and intervention time.

  When continuous flow is required, use a DN50 through-pipe stopper to maintain circulation during the test.

  2. Ventilation and airflow systems

  In HVAC and ventilation systems, smoke generators are used to test airflow and verify airtightness. They help identify any air leaks that could reduce system efficiency or cause energy loss. The generated smoke allows quick visual confirmation that air is circulating correctly and reveals blockages or poorly fitted ducts.

  For lightweight, portable testing, use the F1000 smoke generator.

  3. Infrastructure inspection and maintenance

  Smoke generators also play a key role in infrastructure maintenance and inspection. They are used to test the sealing of roofs, chimneys, basements and industrial installations, identifying structural weaknesses that may lead to water infiltration or heat loss. Additionally, smoke is used in fire safety system testing, simulating real smoke evacuation scenarios to ensure performance and compliance.

  For long networks or extended tests, the FS200 generator produces long-lasting, consistent smoke. Keep FS200 smoke liquid available to maintain optimal density.

  Our smoke generators : reliable solutions for professional inspections

  Smoke cartridge generators

  Smoke cartridges are valued for their ease of use and immediate efficiency. They operate by controlled combustion, producing dense smoke that disperses evenly throughout the target area. To activate, simply ignite the cartridge and place it in the test zone – no UV light required. Their autonomy and compact size make them ideal for quick inspections of ventilation ducts, pipes and confined spaces requiring fast leak detection.

  Liquid smoke generators

  Liquid smoke generators offer greater flexibility, suitable for prolonged inspections or controlled smoke diffusion. Commonly used in ventilation systems and industrial environments, they operate with a smoke generation unit, which allows the user to adjust both the volume and intensity of smoke output. These are ideal for large surface tests or complex installations where continuous emission is required.

  For combined inspections, pair with UV COLOR Green to enhance contrast depending on the environment.

  swimming pool leak...

  Pool leak detectors : locate the source of water loss with precision

  Every day a leak goes undetected, your pool drains, your treatment weakens, and your costs rise. Our pool leak detection solutions are designed with one clear goal: to save you diagnostic time and reduce interventions to the essentials. Whether you are a demanding homeowner or a maintenance professional, Fluotracking provides tested and proven leak detection tools for pools: fluorescein dye and UV lamps to visualise flow, pipe stoppers and plugs to isolate sections, and pressure testing accessories to confirm results.

  The result : you identify the precise origin of a leak (skimmer, return jet, main drain, fittings, liner, steps, or joints), prioritise repairs, and stop the costly loss of water and treatment chemicals.

  How to choose your pool leak detector according to pool type

  A good pool leak detector is not a one-size-fits-all gadget — it’s a tool adapted to your pool material, symptoms, and access conditions.

  Liner pools : track micro-perforations without draining the water

  Pool liners are comfortable and aesthetic, but they are also sensitive to micro-tears — often caused by ladders, robots, toys or fittings. The most reliable method remains fluorescein dye + UV lamp. Turn off filtration and keep the water still, then inject a small drop of fluorescein dye near the suspected area. If the liner draws it in, the yellow-green stream flows toward the leak — an instant visual confirmation.

  For systematic inspection, follow seams, skimmer gaskets, projector seals, vacuum fittings, and corners.

  Pro tip : prepare two syringes — one for upper areas (skimmers, returns), the other for the bottom and angles. At the end of the session, use the UV lamp to confirm marked points and take photos for your report or insurance documentation.

  Fibreglass or polyester pools : fittings, seals and pipework

  On polyester or fibreglass shells, leaks often occur around sealed fittings, bonding areas, or within pipes. Combine fluorescent dye tracing (visible side) with pressure line testing (hidden side). Using inflatable pipe stoppers, isolate a return line or vacuum line, apply light pressure from the equipment side, and monitor for pressure drop — the leaking circuit will reveal itself. The dye will then confirm the point of entry or exit on the wall.

  Concrete or tiled pools : joints, penetrations and waterproofing repairs

  Concrete or tiled pools are prone to leaks at aged joints, wall penetrations, or built-in stairs. The best practice combines visual inspection and fluorescein testing directly on cracks or joints, followed by pressure testing of the hydraulic lines. Don’t forget overflow channels and balance tanks — an unstable water level may mask a peripheral leak.

  Pipework : isolate, pressurise, and eliminate doubt quickly

  When the water level drops without visible cause, the pipework is often responsible. The winning approach:

  • Seal off each line (skimmer, return, main drain) using stoppers.
  • Apply controlled pressure (or vacuum) and measure pressure loss over time.
  • Reopen progressively: once a line drops pressure, you’ve isolated the leak zone.

  This method avoids random excavation and limits repair work to the precise location of the fault.

  Two core methods for pool leak detection : visual and measurable

  The goal isn’t to guess — it’s to document and prove. Here are the two main pillars of effective and reliable pool leak diagnostics.

  1. UV dye test : proof by visual evidence

  • When to use: For suspected leaks on liners, fittings or joints.
  • How: Stop filtration, let the water settle, and inject the dye 1–2 cm from the target area. Observe the flow carefully.
  • What it proves: If the dye stream is drawn in, there’s a leak path — a micro-crack, joint defect, or pinhole.
  • Advantages: Fast, inexpensive, and highly visual — ideal for documentation and pre-repair diagnosis.
  • Limitations: Requires calm water and close access, which is why a systematic inspection is recommended.

  2. Pressure testing for leak detection

  • Purpose: To confirm or rule out leaks in buried pipework without breaking ground.
  • Method: Use a pressure testing kit with inflatable plugs to isolate lines, apply pressure, and monitor stability over time.
  • Reading results: A pressure drop indicates a leak — whether from a fitting, joint or fractured pipe.
  • Benefit: Enables precise intervention — excavation or repair only where necessary.
