Why you shouldn't use Fluid XP or Fluid XP+ (Pictures)

yeah I found that anti-freze is not antibacterial....

Have you drained the balck stuff out of your tubes?

Did it stain the tubes black?

ie thus you cant see any bacterial growth because of the dye...

Antifreeze does inhibit growth, but not at a 5-10% concentration like we use it.

Nope I tested ethylene glycol the 100% concentrated.... grwowth was everywhere...

Hmmm...now I am getting a bit concerned here. I am using straight Fluid XP EXT blue in both my water loops. The strange thing is that my CPU loop is nice and clean and clear blue but the GPU loop looks like it has 2 different liquids in it. The res, when you shine a flashlight in it is all swirly and you can actually watch how the liquid flows thru the res., yet the CPU loop res looks totally still. I am beginning to wonder if this isn't the beginning stages of the whiteout!!....sigh

I usually use alcohol and a little water bed additive. (very little) this helps kill anything and gets the air out quick. I also use a Highlighter to get the uv glow. Doesn't take much and works great. Never have a problem.
