i doubt its the metals, and as long as its good distilled water, that shouldnt be the problem, im pretty sure i had a similar problem in my first week or 2 of watercooling, then it went away, i think it was some kind of coating on the metals that washed off or something, wait a bit

Actually I'm using the inovatek clear additive. The water looks fine to me, but I'm also using a braided clear tubing instead of the usual clearflex or tygon stuff so I cant really tell you how clear it is. I'm pretty happy with the additive though. I wouldn't say it turns the water chalky. Maybe it is slightly less transparent than normal water, but still looks fine to me. You might want to give it a try.

well, like I said I'm using the braided tubing so I cant really tell exactly how clear it is. Although in the cup that I mixed the additive, i have the leftovers from when I filled it last sunday and it is still clear. So maybe it is promising. Make sure too you flush your system well with distilled water. Especially the heatercore if it came from a car, since it might still have some kind of residue left in it.

there will be a slight corrosion effect with brass/copper, but it will take a LONG time because their electronegitive are very close to each other. I doubt thats the problem in your case, most likely one of the components in ur system has something nasty in it and it took 2 - 3 days for it to solute in water.

i'd put some alcohol through your system and let it run for a while. It'll get rid of any dirty stuff
