Well some may remember me, I made a water cooling rig about 5-7 months ago. It got too expensve and stuff so I saved and waited. Well here I am again, I have maze3 comming in the mail and other supplys. Last time I had great results with 20/10 windshield washer fluid because I put it in a mini-fridge with the ice tray in the res so it got below freezing. I have been reading and some people seem to think that windshield fluid corrodes or eats away at plastics (sounds nuts too me) but I just wanted some recommendations. (windshield washer stuff is cheap) Should I stick with washer fluid or try somthing else? ( I don't really want to buy watter wetter unless it's necessary or somthing.)

I have access to a chemical enineer for free and according to that person antifreez is probably the best

washer fluid does ok for antibacterial qualities. one thing that can be helpful is any one of the various anti-corrosion additives you can purchase at your local auto-parts store. zerex or water wetter or anything similar can be found at napa, auto zone, advance auto, etc etc etc.
