Water Additives?
 
What should I use anyway?

I heard some saying use Distilled water, some saying use Demi water. What is the best?

Water Wetter seems to be quite popular, however I heard The Zerex G-05 was better...

The only good source I could find was http://www.wc101.com/reviews/Additives/

Any tips? Guides? Links? Suggestions?

10 parts distilled water
1 part antifreeze (color of your choice)

That is all, water wetter doesnt seem to help at all and doesnt prevent corrosion.

Wouldn't Demi-Water be better against mineral deposits?

So this coolant from Valvoline would be good then? Hmm wonder what color it is.

All antifreezes should do fine. Just pick the color that you like. I have seen red, green, blue, yellow, orange, and purple.

Water wetter does help corrosion... I have Al/Cu mix with only water wetter for corrosion control and it's corrosion free after 10 months.

I use a mix of 2 litres of De-Ionised, distilled and pureified water, 400ml of Castrol Superbike Coolant, and 100ml of Miltons disinfectant.

I run at nothing more than 2'C above room temp, even with a XP1800 overclocked to XP2400 speeds, GPU and N/B, all putting out far more heat than usually recommended :p

What radiator do you have? Could you create such performance with a dual radiator? (That's what I got ... Evo 240)
