Red Back Drain Dye 1kg – Red 

Red Back drain dye 1kg enables plumbers to quickly locate leaks, confirm connections and flow paths onsite. Non-toxic and biodegradable, the red colourant is food-safe and made from a highly concentrated food dye. This makes it ideal for septic leak detection (toilet tank testing) and indoors to map out drain lines or confirm which fixtures lead to the septic system. For stormwater application, view the green dye here.

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.
