DOH PVC WONT UV LIGHT THROUGH

hmorgoth · 08-10-2001, 02:12 PM

HI GUys my system has 3/4" 1/2" and 3/8" pvc tubing but my black light wont iluminate the dyelite in my water!!!!

can you get silicone tubing in the above sizes and will my dyelite glow????

Where did you buy the Dyelight from? I can't find it anywhere in the UK.

email me if you want some i can post you a few ml of the stuff (it's green by the way)
that should go a fairly long way considering a cap full did a whole buvket for me!!!!

www.mcmaster.com carries all the sizes you list in silicon. Look in rubber tubing. I also hear tygon is good, but it's a form of PVC, so I don't know how it affects UV.

Also for the Darkhorse, try calling your local semi-truck shop. it's common use is for detecting leaks in big trucks, and I got some for free from my local Peterbilt dealer. You only need about a drop per litre.

Is this true with all pvc tubing? Any one else use dye-lite? What tubing do you guys use? Sil,icone is cool, I just don't like how it kinks so easily.

Think i found the problem
I was using a UV strip light
But I tried it with a Black light (one with those purple filters on them and it works great but i need to know where to get a 12v 8w 12" black light or one of the purple filter things???
Thanks for all the help
