Cooling Confusion

Hello i have almost completed my water cooling kit [Custom Built] but the one thing that is putting me off is the fact that i am not 100% sure on what water to put in it and how much and what addatives and how much i have decided i want to put green uv dye in their but how much of this do i put in. people keep giving me all these ratios and too be honest i dont really know how these are measure in water adn fluid. Could someone please shed some light on this area.
Cheers

i think your saposta put disstilled water in(bottled water) im pretty sure i read that some were

 

Water - Distilled is pretty common
UV Dye - Depends on desired effect and the makers specs...Best to contact the seller for information on ratios
Other Addatives - Same as above really as different products have different specs....

 

Where can distilled water be purchased from.

You'll get deionised water from any car accessory shop like Halfords or most larger garages or other hardware stores like B&Q

/.......and green uv dye is one of the best to react under black light and is really powerful, i found around 3 - 4ml is enough for most normal set-ups.

 

distilled is better - its just boiled water: less oxygen, no crap in it. Deionised just removes the ions, not the crap. As soon as you put it into a metal block itll reionise again.

That's my chemical theory anyway. No doubt youll complain its like a pinch of salt, just like mixing metals.

 

I think deionised is slightly cleaner than your basic tap water tho

I should really get an evaporator and condenser to make some of my own 'clean' water
