Water cooling liquid additive.

"innovaProtect corrosion protection and heat conductor" Link to product ,
Do any of you use this ? I have just set up a budget system and I'm in the process of leak testing. I have filled the system with distilled water and I would like to find an additive to prevent scum and decay of the metals I used .

I have a alum rad and a copper water block. The rad seems to be coated but I have read mixing some metals speed up their decay. This stuff says:

"Protects the water cooling system dependably against corrosion and is recommended when using a cooling system composed of different metals"

Is this worth the price or is there some other liquid that I should be using ?

no just get some water wetter or purple ice they do the same thing for cheaper

i dont know about that stuff. but if you can get your hands on some "water wetter" or "wetter water".. one of those, haha. designed for use in automotive applications. actually made a difference in some dyno tests. so you should do a search and get a bottle of that.

Anyone know whether WW inhibits algae growth?

Just make sure you dont you have a good mix...about 90% distilled water and 10% water wetter is common

Water wetter is pink and it stains the tubes, some anti freeze is good but you still need something to kill algae. WW doesn't kill that stuff either, use a little methanol in there.
