Well i got 2 questions...

Firstly im my local shop only has Water Wetter and i was wondering on some opinions on that product or perhaps other products that would be better.

Secondly whats a good blue UV dye for water? i found this...

http://www.directron.com/waterdye.html

But there is no brand name so im not sure how i can tell if it will dye the tubes or have any negative affects
 
I haven't used water wetter, but I have read not good things about it on OCforums.

I am using this dye from cool-cases-usa.com

So far is works fine. I think dye is going to stain any clear tubing. I don't care if it does as I don't plan on changing colors, and if I did, I would just replace the tubing if necessary.

That fill and bleed kit is to me $30 worth of nothing. A $4 t-line does the same thing and takes up a lot less space.
 
I'd stay away from water wetter... will muck up everything with a white/brown film. You dont need it. If you want blue, get some VW anti freeze, it is blue. I would run anti freeze and distilled water only, it is all you need. If you have mixed metal the ratio should be 25% AF or if all copper/brass 10-15% will be plenty of AF. I dont like that swiftech bleed kit at all. I would also stay away from dyes personally, it will stain everything, but, up to you.
 
I use Water wetter in a "small" quanity and a Craola Water souable marker for dye..After 2 months every thing is perfectly clean and crisp as the day I set it up.

It i s an effective way to produce great colors and because it is water clean up it never stains..I even power off daily letting the water stand and i am impressed at how good it has worked ..
