Question of liquid in Watercooling
 
Guys just like to ask if I can use car battery water inside my watercooling set?

Well the car battery water that I can get have 2 kinds :
1. written distilled water
2. written deionized water

*Hope I get the spelling right

You want distilled water. Don't use stuff specific to batteries or whatnot ... instead, go to your local supermarket/Wal*Mart type store and pick up gallon jugs of distilled water. They normally run about $0.50 USD per gallon. It works just as well for much less money. Make sure you add anti-corrosion and biocide to your mix. Some common chemicals are Water Wetter, Purple Ice, Hyperlube (my fav), or Xerex radiator additive. If you want to add additional algae/bacteria killing action to it, you can add some antifreeze (the more you add the higher your temps will be, so just a warning) and/or small amounts of hot tub sanitizer (non chlorine and non bromine).

Good luck.

So you mean the distilled water for drinking in supermart will do??

Not mineral water.

If you got a large chemist or pharmaceuticals store, you should be able to buy DISTILLED water quite cheaply.

Well thanks for all the replies...

8-balls... I'm not refering to mineral water....
some of the bottle water(for drinking) in the supermart are lable as distilled water(or pure water for some brand) so are those suitable..

There will be two types on the shelf: mineral/drinking water, and the other will be distilled water. Grab the distilled. It is pure enough for your purposes.

Distilled water tastes awful because its pure water. If its for drinking its mineral water which is not pure. Walgreens, supermarkets, etc sell it for stuff like ironing cloths, etc.

Another question about water...
What about Reverse Osmosis water(RO water)?? Are they suitable to be used??
