argh, can someone set me straight. i dont really want to get waterwetter, its £15 and is out of stock @ OCS. people have told me that i can use distilled water and 5% antifreeze. 1) can i? 2) isnt antifreeze just to stop water freezing @ 0C which wont happen, and isnt it corrodent. is there any alternatives to waterwetter that i can buy at a local garage? thanks, .icecube
well sum1 will come alone and tell it better then me but here goes 1) sure mix water with anything you want its upto you 2) you shouldn't really need anti-freeze unless you plan to use a TEC distill water on its own works ok water wetter just makes the water more conductive so it can transfer more heat while anti freeze gives the water a lower freezing point. water wetter seems to do other stuff as well like prevents alge and etc. upto you to use it or not. honestly distill water alone will do but its upto u to use these products, they won't make dramatic changes just minor. and you can find them at ur local automotive store so check there (people use em to put into their radiator and stuff)
ahh, so its not really "required"? does anybody know any UK alternatives that you can get for cheap at a local garage? thanks, .icecube
Icecube Water Wetter or Purple Ice or Antifreeze? Guess which one has watter wetter compared without? Mat
You can get it from here m8 and its in stock to http://www.extremecooling.co.uk/extreme/search?action=search&cid=38 Mas-ter my set up is all copper should i get it anyway? d0g.........
BIg Dog I know U know the answer to that! hehehehe Hav u seen old copper clad roof top buldings! They hav a nice pastel green tint - verdigree (spelling?) 100% copper Mmmm what about the "brass" http://www.pemnet.com/design_information/galvanic.html Yeah sure it will hav other benefits Biocide, smell leak alert (OK thats a Crap one), reduce surface tension, NOT reduce H2O thermal properties...
sure water wetter prevents those stuff i'm not against it or anything but sooner or later you'll still have to clean ur system out
