Make your own UV Dye, And make it any color. - Page 3

Yes I have dye lite also. Ran test. If you use like 4 or 5 drops it promotes algae growth, that pink stuff in tubes. It breaks down easier than my highlighter dye.
That highlighter dye does not seem to budge.

Well you are using too much thats why. 2 drops is the max you should use in an entire gallon jug, any more than that and it over saturates and starts to turn a dull orange in your lines.

Also thats why you should use anti bio stuff in your lines also. I have a gallon of coolant, and coolant in a machine (Pro/Mini) that has been there for over 2.5 years.. and it still glows today just as much as it did the day I mixed it.

You are more experienced than me but I ran test and the highlighter dye does me justice with no chance of algae growth that my test revealed. Test done for a month. Actually the highlighter dye cleans copper like a jewelery cleaner almost and has not damage mag drive shaft. And needs very little UV light to glow strong.

If my highlighter dye fails me I will try the dyelite with one drop in my system.

Good to hear success w/ UV dye. I was beginning to doubt the whole concept.

Rad makes the world of difference w/ UV dye.

WHAT RAD ARE YOU USING???????????

Thanks

joe... can you post or what anti-bio stuff you used in that particular machine?

Joe · 06-13-2003, 12:27 AM

In that machine its a prototype BIX I got years ago.

Sproket · 06-13-2003, 12:32 AM

BIX = Danger Den Black Ice Extreme?
Thanks

Joe · 06-13-2003, 12:33 AM

Well ... a HwLabs Black Ice Extreme... since HwLabs is who makes them. Danger Den is just a reseller.

Thanks again!
I was using a Dtek Heatercore but it was like a UV water filter for me. I tried 2 of them. UV dye would get trapped in there, at bottom. Water would turn crystal clear after 3 days. Take heatcore out of sys and empty into sink and there's all my UV dye.

Now AquaCoil II works great for UV dye, just that temps got 3 degree warmer.

Dual fan may solve my problem though, Im running single fan now on AquaCoilII.
