A/C dye visible without A/C UV light?

posted by  someone claiming to be greg_mustang on  Mon Jun 16 09:21 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I am about to pull a vacuum and charge up my newly retrofitted system in my 240. Not sure if there is a leak, I'd like to be able to detect it. Dye was put in.

Question: If the vacuum holds, I charge up, is there any way to see for a leak within a week if I DO NOT have a UV A/C light? What is considered ultraviolet anyway? Is there anything else I can use?

Any other DIY methods of finding leaks? I've heard of soap suds way but not sure about that...

Thanks,
