Hey guys! Im building my FIRST loop this week. I got the Phobya Pure Performance Kit 360LT. It comes with this 1000ml of Phobya ZuperZero Clear liquid. Will i be better off using distilled water? I want to color the liquid red. Will food coloring do the job or will it disturb the coolants job? or cause corrosion? Any other tips for my first loop? thanks! :D
 
I wouldn't use anything except distilled water and a silver kill coil. Any additive will require additional cleaning and maintenance.

If you want it to look red get a red LED to put near the clear hose and water. Works pretty good.

Distilled water will alawys be the best. If you really want to have your fluid colored add something from known manufacturers, these will have slightly worse performance and you will need to clean your system more often. Using food coloring is a bad idea, it will clogg your system up even faster.

Distilled water and kill coil. Just make sure there isn't any aluminum in the loop.

As previously said, you could go with a red LED or get some Bloodshed Red tubing.
 
NO FOOD COLORING, it stains it forever.
for me it's fine, i only see blue orange and some pinks so I like EVERYTHING blue.
for those that see the full spectrum, it's a no no.
