Good job!! would you like to cut my 2 1/2 acres of yard, do the dishes, and clean house ,the link you provided did'nt help with all that. roflmao Edit SORRY about the thread crap Been drinkin and posted befor I put my brain in gear.citronym said:Obviously you didn't read it. You asked for good non-toxic coolant, and the thread I linked you to has great arguments on what non-toxic coolants people have tried, as well as links to other articles/pages. Sorry, I'm not gonna read that thread just to post whats already been said.
EDIT:
Alright, I read through it anyway. The 2 things that caught my eye were propylene glycol and FluidXP. I don't know if propylene glycol is non-toxic, or just less toxic.
Better?
Not bashing.. so dont get me wrong. I read that and it seems that sticky is more about fussing about what people dont like. It doesnt give a real good idea of what can be used and if one is better then the other. I personally went with 85%water/15%antifreeze (because of mixed metals). Its the first time I've used it like this. So I have no ideas on what the outcome will be. I just found what to use through search. Thor is the one I observed on the amount to use. I trust him.citronym said:Discussed heavily in this sticky
Best to use distilled water, not just any bottled water. Why would you ever boil the water, this has me more than confused.Oper8or said:For water. Use bottled. Get a 1 gallon jug of it and worry not about boiling any more. Got sick of boiling water every time I changed fluid in my wc loop.
Distilled is what I meant. Boiling water cleans it. Common concept.nikhsub1 said:Best to use distilled water, not just any bottled water. Why would you ever boil the water, this has me more than confused.
BINGO. Modified pressure cooker with copper pipping.Encore2097 said:I think he ment he distills water, not too hard, heres a simple one. We do it in chemistry lab sometimes, of course we do it in large quantities but you get the idea Of course you would want to have all air tight connection and possible put a filter in there near both ends to make sure you dont get any impurities or you could distill multiple times etc..
