I am posting here because I do NOT know, take my comments as info to be checked out

one must ask if this is a DIY thing, or a commercial activity
understand that while I play in the DIY sandbox, such is not my interest
words I like are "bulletproof", "mil spec", and "100,000hrs MTBF"

DIYers use water plus whatever
commercial systems use glycol and design the system appropriately to 'take the hit'

I have now 3 years of fighting 'slime in the ice machine' and wish to stop such
designing the system for disassembly, and scheduled cleaning, is one approach
using an inert stable coolant another

I suspect I will be designing commercial server WCing installations soon (168 CPUs, etc)
which route do you think I will be taking ?

I can definitively tell you that flushing will NOT get the crap out
nor will high temp flushing
nor ANY solution I have tried

no silver bullet
listen to what RabidMoose said, gonna have to scrub (I do)
