Cooling additives
 

Hi, I've read the water cooling chemistry articles 1 + 2 on o/cers.com, but it's left rather open ended. It says the pages 9+ are to follow tomorrow, yet they didn't.

The thing is, my rig is going to be finished soon, and I'm not sure what to get. I was thinking of Zerex super coolant, but I'm not sure if that's wise. I'm going to be using an MCP600 and Zerex is coloured. Swiftech say don't use pigments with the pump, so is Zerex out, or isn't Zerex pigmented? Water wetter seems very popular but some people say that's only because it's so available, and that is isn't very good and it stains.

I'm not sure what to get really, just Zerex, at say 10%, or should I add other stuff as well? Some people even seem to be adding soap and wind screen wiper fluid.....

it was added onto the same article (pages 10-16)

afaik the AQX-50Z-DC12 is the same pump in black, and they say:
"The pump is maintenance free when used with distilled water, and coolant additives (CoolTechnica recommends Zerex Racing Super Coolant)"

Aha I see, I had page 8 bookmarked and it still says 'Pages 9 - 16 will be posted tomorrow' :)
