Red Back Drain Dye Multi-Pack 40g – Red & Green
Red Back Drain Dye Multi-Pack 40g – Red & Green
Red Back drain dye enables plumbers to quickly locate leaks, confirm connections and flow paths onsite. Non-toxic and biodegradable, the colourant can be used for both septic and storm water applications.
The multi-pack includes 1 sachet of red colourant powder and 1 sachet of green colourant powder for tracing separate flow paths at once. A highly concentrated food dye, the red colourant is food-safe and is often used for septic leak detection (toilet tank testing) and indoors to map out drain lines or confirm which fixtures lead to the septic system. The green dye is recommended for stormwater applications.
As a general rule, 20 grams of dye will provide a strong visual in 200 litre of water. 1kg of dye will provide a strong visual in 10,000 litres of water.
We do not recommend use on porous surfaces. Always use product per the instructions and MSDS.
Multi-packs sold separately. Also available in box of 24.
