How do I prevent Battery Effect???

[TheGhengisKhan]

ok, I'm getting close to putting my whole WC setup together!! one problem though! Copper WB, and Alum. HeaterCore. Asside from water-wetter, what's another way to prevent battery effect? Are there any common household products that will prevent it without affecting the cooling too much?

I know that you can use antifreeze, but watter wetter has less of an affect of the water transfer properties.

You can not prevent it, it will happen. There are additives, like water wetter and antifreese that will slow it down. You should also start with distilled water that has no impurities. If you do run a setup with mixed metals you should change the fluid often and keep it cleaned out.
