Q: How do you choose the right kit?

The choice mainly depends on:The type of networkThe purpose of the testThe water volumeThe expected dilutionThe required type of tracerThe detection methodThe frequency of useThe accessories already available

Inspecting a network often requires more than a tracing dye alone. The product must be prepared, correctly dosed and introduced into the installation, with the necessary equipment available to detect its recovery. Depending on their contents, Fluotechnik tracing kits bring together tracers, dosing accessories, containers, applicators and detection equipment. They provide professionals with a consistent set of tools for inspecting pipes, plumbing networks, sewer systems, basins, tanks, swimming pools and waterproofing structures.

Our range of water tracing kits

Fluotechnik offers several configurations for professionals who carry out network inspections, flow tests and leak detection operations on water systems. The right equipment depends on the network being inspected, the water volume, the required detection method and the frequency of use.
A compact kit may be suitable for occasional checks on accessible pipes. A configuration containing several tracers and UV equipment will be more appropriate for a professional who regularly works on a wide variety of networks and situations.

Depending on the model selected, a kit may include:

One or more visible dyes or fluorescent tracers
Dosing accessories
Preparation containers
Application equipment
A UV lamp
Glasses or other detection accessories
Various consumables used during the operation

Why use a complete water tracing kit?

A tracing kit provides the main components required to prepare and carry out an inspection on a hydraulic network.

It can be used to:

Follow the route taken by water
Check communication between two points
Identify where a pipe leads
Inspect a connection
Follow a drain; detect tracer recovery
Define a likely leak area
Compare several network branches
Check a repair

Its main advantage lies in the consistency of the equipment supplied. The professional does not only have the tracer itself, but may also use the accessories needed to measure the product, prepare the solution, carry out the injection and observe the results. This approach makes operations easier when equipment must be transported between different sites or used for several types of diagnostic work.

The kit contents must nevertheless match the situation:

A visible dye is suitable when tracer recovery can be observed directly
A fluorescent tracer is useful when a more sensitive signal or UV detection is required
Several colours can help distinguish between different circuits or injection points
A UV lamp makes weak fluorescent traces easier to detect
Dosing accessories improve the consistency of preparations

Professionals who already have the required equipment and only need to replace a product can also select dyes and tracers separately.

How do you use a water tracing kit?

The method must be adapted to the network, the water volume and the information being sought. Before use, the tracer’s compatibility with the fluid, materials and operating conditions of the installation must be checked.

Step 1 - Identify the network to be inspected

Begin by determining the exact type of installation concerned:

Water supply pipe
Pumbing network
Drainage pipe
Sewer network
Tank
Basin
Swimming pool
Roof or terrace
Stormwater downpipe
Technical hydraulic installation

Pipe length and diameter, flow rate, water volume and the accessibility of the control points directly influence the preparation of the test.

Step 2 - Define the purpose of the diagnosis

The operation may be intended to:

Locate a leak
Follow a flow
Verify a connection
Identify the outlet of a pipe
Confirm communication between two points
Distinguish between several circuits
Inspect an area after repair

A clearly defined objective makes it easier to select the correct tracer and determine which areas need to be monitored.

Step 3 - Choose the tracer and detection method

A visible dye may be preferred when tracer recovery areas are accessible and direct visual observation is possible.

A fluorescent tracer may be more appropriate when:

Significant dilution is expected
The signal may be weak
Visibility conditions are poor
The colouring needs to remain discreet under natural light
Detection under a UV lamp is planned

When several circuits need to be checked, different colours or fluorescent signatures can make identification easier.

Step 4 - Check the kit contents

Before travelling to the site, check that all the required components are present:

The selected tracer
Dosing accessories
A preparation container
Application equipment
A UV lamp, where necessary
Protective and detection accessories
The product’s technical documentation

This check prevents essential equipment from being missing when the operation begins.

Step 5 - Prepare and dose the product

The quantity of tracer depends in particular on:

The water volume
The length of the network
The flow rate
The expected dilution
The distance to the control points
The required level of visibility
The sensitivity of the detection method

The dosing accessories included in certain kits make it easier to prepare an amount consistent with the protocol.

Step 6 - Introduce the tracer into the network

The product is introduced at the defined point and then carried through the installation by the fluid or by a suitable volume of water. The injection time should be recorded so that the tracer recovery time at the different control points can be compared.

Step 7 - Inspect the tracer recovery areas

Depending on the network, inspections may be carried out at:

Manholes
Outlets
Fittings
Collectors
Drains
Walls
Floors
Ceilings
Basins
Waterproofing structures

When a fluorescent tracer is used, a suitable UV lamp improves the detection of weak signals.

Step 8 - Interpret the results

The location, time and intensity of tracer recovery can provide a better understanding of how the installation operates.

These observations can:

Confirm a connection
Identify a route
Reveal abnormal tracer recovery
Distinguish between several branches
Guide the next stage of the diagnosis
Limit invasive investigations.

However, the absence of a signal must be interpreted in light of dilution, flow rate, circulation time and the accessibility of the inspected areas.

FAQ about complete water tracing kits

What is a water tracing kit?

It is a set that may contain one or more tracers together with accessories for preparation, dosing, application or detection. Its contents vary according to the model and the type of operation for which it is intended.

What is the difference between a kit and a tracer sold separately?

A tracer sold separately is the product introduced into the water. A kit adds various accessories needed for its use, such as dosing equipment, containers, application tools or a UV lamp.

When should a water tracing kit be used?

A kit can be used to:

Follow a flow
Verify a connection
Identify a pipe
Inspect a drain
Locate a leak
Distinguish between several circuits
Check a repair

Which networks can these kits be used on?

Depending on the products they contain, the kits may be suitable for:

Is a UV lamp required?

It is required when tracer detection relies on fluorescence under UV light. For a directly visible dye, a lamp is generally not essential. The contents and instructions of the selected kit should be checked.

Can a kit locate a leak precisely?

Tracing can confirm water movement, reveal tracer recovery or reduce the search area. The level of accuracy depends on the network layout, leak flow rate, dilution, materials and accessibility of the affected area.

Can these kits be used in a drinking water network?

Not all tracers are designed for use in water intended for human consumption. Product compatibility and conditions of use must be checked. For these environments, a solution specifically intended for food contact or sensitive networks should be selected.

How do you choose the right kit?

The choice mainly depends on:

Can several tracers be used with the same kit?

Some kits contain several colours or substances to meet different needs or compare several circuits. However, the signals must be sufficiently distinct, and the products must be suitable for the installation.

Can the kit be reused?

Accessories and equipment can generally be reused depending on their type and maintenance requirements. Tracers and consumables must be replaced as they are used.

How should the products in the kit be stored?

Storage conditions depend on the products included. They should be kept in accordance with their technical instructions, in their original packaging and protected from conditions that could affect them.
