Specialists from Perm Heating Networks have successfully been detecting defects in heating networks and in-house heating systems on the left bank of Perm. The harmless fluorescent marker added to the system — the substance «Uranin-A» — has already helped discover pipeline damage in the Motovilikha, Leninsky, and Sverdlovsky districts. Thanks to the applied green dye, leaks have been promptly eliminated.

«In a number of cases, the inspection showed that in apartment buildings, water from the heating system was entering the hot water supply circuit due to faults in internal communications, which is a violation. It was in these cases that residents observed green water from taps in their apartments. Thanks to the signals received, managing organizations were able to promptly carry out repairs,» explained Technical Director — Chief Engineer of Perm Heating Networks Sergey Guzhev.

The inspection using the safe dye «Uranin-A» in the heating supply area of Perm CHP-6 began on January 21 and will last until the end of February. During this period, residents may notice a green tint in the hot water. In such a situation, it is necessary to contact your managing company, the Heat Reference Service at phone number 259-39-98, or write to the email address uranin@tplusgroup.ru.
