Has nyone bothered testing Swiftech HydrX?
I've been using the same mixture (one bottle HydrX to one gallon of distilled water) for about 6 months and buildup in the blocks and container have been zero. The container is a vented glass jar that sits in my garage by a window. I've not had any growth of any kind in the mixture I have left and it's exposed to air and sunlight. The solution is still crystal clear and it doesn't foam either. Not sure how much extra cooling HydrX gives but it sounds like there's more problems with foaming and algae/bacteria growth.
The WW foaming sounds like some other issue. I've used it for years in race cars, which should create much more agitation than a water cooling system, and have never seen it foam. Sounds like too much WW to me.
