its green

[m4a2t0t]

what do u guys use to stop alge or whatever is causing my water to turn green?
all i have is distilled h20 and some waterwetter, i changed the water a few months ago and cleaned all the hoses and waterblocks

 

[Cougar522]

im not sure would clr do any harm??? i know it would clean it up??? or mabe bleach that would clean it up too but im not sure of the effects in a watercooling rig. I am also curious.

Take it for what its worth, but I use an amount of pump lubricant in my setup, and have never had an algae problem.

 

[m4a2t0t]

where do i get some pump lubricant?

 

[Mr. $T$]

Go to a auto store and buy some raditor and water pump lub

If it is alge then put some bleach in the water that should take care it.

Change your water to clean water with a bit of bleach in it. Run the system for a few hours, then flush and refill with DISTILLED water and WaterWetter. Make sure you're following the concentration directions on the bottle.
I wouldn't recommend mixing chlorine bleach with waterwetter in the system.

Have fun!

I'm with diggrr on all of that, except I use a drop or two of Beckett Fountain Cleanser to keep my bong clean. You can get it from home depot, or pet stores have similar stuff for fish tanks. Beckett shouldn't react with waterwetter since it is an enzyme.

i am positive that yuo are not using enought water wetter, increase the amount and the algee should go away

 

[m4a2t0t]

thanks guys

im going to clean it 2 day and well see what happens in a few weeks

 

[jimmytp]

Increasing the amount of waterwetter will probably reduce thermal efficiency, with very little, if any, gain elsewhere. I wouldn't use very much of it, that's just me though. But I would also run experiments with different levels to be sure, because it might not matter that much depending on how much you use now.

id say im using around 6-8 capfuls,amybe a little more.im probably using maybe a half gallon of h20
