Green Gobbler Red Water Tracing & Leak Detection Flourescent Dye - 1 Gallon

Worked great.

great product

When they say “red water tracing,” they mean RED. This isn’t a subtle little pink tint—this is full-on crime scene levels of red. The first time I used it, I thought I had accidentally summoned a horror movie in my sink. But hey, at least I knew exactly where the leak was!

worked as described. Did not show up well in grass

NOT FOR INGROUND POOLS! We read the directions, added the product as directed and then watched as our entire pool turned purple. No way to find a leak. I think you would have to have a large tear that was sucking water hard for this stuff to work. It’s been 6 days now, the pool water is still a dark pink color, and even though it is a pretty color, it is not how you want your pool water to look. We’ve back-washed and rinsed, shocked and used clarifier. Some product did get on the cement pool skirt and it did wash off, so for one star I’ll give them the part where they say it is non-staining.

Was very hard to see during the daytime unless you were close. Green is much better for that. But, it works well in the dark if you have a black light UV flashlight.

Not sure what the other reviews are talking about, this product is easy to view in daylight and looks pretty cool. Works great, will update later on the removal process. My pool is about 10k gallons and I used two red solo cups worth of product instead of the entire gallon to track water flow and check for leaks.

This dye is fluorescent so it works best at night with a black light flashlight as it glows in the dark. Not harmful to pump or circulation. It soon dissipates after time.
