Type of water to use
 

After long time I'm going back to watercooling...


Ok, so I want some water, as I hate using WW etc..... Although water wetter is 100% evil...

I was going to say, I'm not paying for the price for fluidxp, it's just out of the roof for what it is, like 100% profit, paying for there brand name now days.

SO I looked around and had a go to find what the "real" name for fluidxp is, and how I can get it alot alot cheap in the uk.

After some google work, i found this statement "The term pH comes from Pourvoir Hydrogene, which is French for "power of hydrogen".".

After looking more I found 3M™ Fluorinert™ Electronic Liquid FC-70

So, I find this stuff, I got to get some stuff in the UK, and cheap, hopefull around east anglia (where i live and very much doubt it as slater is around my area too)

So, did I do my "research" right? IF so where can I look for this stuff. Is it really called pH?

THanks alot

Why not just use water? Flourinert is not as good as water, it's very expensive, and it's harmful to the environment.

and it's harmful to the environment

Aye, But erm.. Yes.. ok..:| " liquid is chemically stable."

I still don't want to use water

sorry

Stick with the Zerex :)

Your best bet on getting Florenert is to find the local 3M dealer but i dont know who that is. Bet you Its not relly cheaper than Fluidxp tho..

slater..

Isn't fluidxp largely water anyway? Might as well just use water and zerex if you ask me.

Ye,

Doesnt matter now, I have an idea. Not going to be using any of that stuff. Just di-ironed water, use some green dye, in the green dye has a few chiemical's zerex does. Should be ok.

So you dont want to use water cause it is bad, now you want to just use water?

Put some glycol in it, I have never had a problem. That green dye will not help anything.

Dyes don't in general have corrision inhibitors, you'd be better off with zerex or some other engine coolant additive. Dyes are just for added "bling". :p

On the off chance that you're not kidding - the several kinds of automotive antifreeze do come with dye in them - but that's to make it clear to service personnel which antifreeze they're dealing with. The dyes don't actually do anything useful for your system - they're just markers.

Sorry to dig up this thread, but I'd just thought that I should point out that the statement above is untrue. The term pH was invented by a danish chemist at Carlsberg laboratories, Søren Peter Lauritz Sørensen, and stands for "potens-eksponent af hydrogenion", and is measured as the negative exponent of the concentration of H3O+ ions in a solution. A concentration of 10^-3M for example will yeild a pH of 3.
