What water aditives do you use?

[Yuriman]

What water aditives do you use? I currently use dis. water, but i wanted to know what other people used, and this is so much more interesting than searching. Everybody post what you use AND your temps.

Distilled Water, 39c ambient 63c proc, but i think it reads wrong.

Is there any problem with germs growing in the water after time. I am setting up a water cooling system this summer.

I use Zerex. Smells nothing, does the job real well.

Water wetter, purple ice, Zerex etc do prevent this. Personnaly I just add a little windshield washer. Just a bit. Gets my water blue and nothing will grow there.

What does a bottle of Water wetter cost, and what is Zerex?

I use a 10% mixture of Sierra brand antifreeze and water from my reverse osmosis system. Sierra brand antifreeze is polypropylene glycol based, so it is safer around pets and children if it gets spilled.

what he means is that he chipped his core and his overall temps went up 20C that is BAD!!!

Say he was ambient at 25C now he is ambient at 45C....

At Least I think that is what he meant...

Yea and also performs terribly compared to the 'real' stuff. I dont see how it being environmentally friendly is worth anything. Unless you've got little kids in the house with mental disabilities who are going to take apart the lines and drink the coolaid inside.

I use distilled water and SuperCool from D-Tek.

distilled water and watter wetter. temps are 31c mb and 46c diode. water wetter cost me 11.99 for a big bottle at a local automotive store. Didn't help the temps, but has helped with the funk growing.
