WATER-GLO® ULTRA SPI-WGG-55G

1 of 2 products in this brand
WATER-GLO® ULTRA SPI-WGG-55G is a fluorescent leak detection dye for use in industrial water-based fluid systems. It quickly finds leaks in closed loop systems containing fluids that are miscible with water, glycol or similar fluids, such as boilers, hydronic heaters, pumps, sprinkler systems, storage tanks, pipes and associated fittings. For best leak detection results, use WATER-GLO® ULTRA dye with a Spectroline® inspection lamp in low-light conditions. SPI-WGB works only with ultraviolet light.

Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • Quickly pinpoint the exact source of all water leaks including tiny, evaporated and condensation-covered leaks.
  • Works in both static and circulating systems.
  • Can be used as a diagnostic tool for testing seams, welds, seals, fittings and flow-rate measuring.
  • Ideal for heat transfer fluid systems.
  • Some applications include: boilers, heaters/ pumps, sprinkler systems, storage tanks.
Features
  • Fully Miscible - High Quality, non-particulate and filtered down to 2 microns. Won’t change the viscosity or lubricity of host fluid.
  • Exclusive Formula - Engineered to meet manufacturers’ specifications.
  • Improved Stability - More tolerant to extreme temperature range & moisture.
  • Independently Tested - For system compatibility & will remain safely within the system.

Directions
  1. Add the dye to the suspect system. Begin with the recommended dilution ratio of dye to water. Use 1 pt (473 ml) of SPI-WGB dye for every 500 gal (1,900 l) of water in the system. Use 1 pt (473 ml) of SPI-WGG dye for every 1,000 gal (3,800 l) of water in the system. More dye can be added to the system if the leaks are not clearly visible.
  2. Operate or pressurize the system to ensure adequate circulation of the dye. For static systems, mix thoroughly with the water.
  3. Inspect all areas with a high-intensity Spectroline lamp. Be sure to use the fluorescence-enhancing glasses, or the UV-absorbing glasses supplied with the lamp. A bright fluorescent glow will be visible at the site of the leaks and along the leakage path. (Note - For best results, use the lamp in low-light conditions.)
  4. For suspect areas obstructed from view, wipe the area with a clean white cloth and then check for the fluorescence.
  5. The dyes may safely remain in the system, so you can check the repair without adding more dye.
  6. After the leaks are repaired, clean the leak sites with Spectroline® GLO-AWAY™ PLUS dye cleaner or a general-purpose shop cleaner.
  7. Run or pressurize the system again and reinspect with the lamp. No glow means all leaks have been fixed!
