Water Coolin: Water!

[LOUISSSSS]

in specific, what should i be using?

Distilled water, Pentosin G11, _____?
am i fine without the PT NUKE?

and what is the ideal mixture?
10:1
Water😛entosin?

and it'd be best to prepare all of this outside of the case in a separate bottle before pouring in..

i hear i can just get copper sulfate from a pet shop for fish, is that right? how much should i put in?

What about the silver Killcoils? are they the same as PT Nuke and the Copper Sulfate from aquarium?
and is 1x killcoil all i need for the entire setup? i can put it in any section of tubing?

1x kill coil is all i use, ideally it needs to be in direct flow so anywhere in your loop is fine, or in the RES.

I'm using straight distilled h20 - anything wrong with that?

EDIT: copper based loop btw

using a coolant + some copper sulfate (pt nuke/kill coils/copper sulfate found in pet stores for aquariums) will help keep your distilled water in better condition longer between fluid changes

coolant only extends your flushes because of ethylene glycol is a very strong antimicrob

the 2 drops of PT nuke is usually to aid in case algae grows.

You can bypass all these and go straight distilled if you just use PT nuke, or have silver in your loop.

can you mix in silver in a copper based loop?

 

[aigomorla]

im hearing you will get corrosion but this is over MANY MANY MANY years. 😛

chances are your loop wont be up that long.

Overall concensus tho, is its safe, ive been using it for some time now, and i dont see any adverse effects.

straight distilled gets my vote
