Slap me if this has been covered, I will admit to not searching fully... but...
I notice Asetek advertise their WaterChill additive as "Anti Algae"... however, I also suspect from what I read that it's just plain old Water Wetter rebottled...
I dug a little deeper, and basically NONE of the additives thrown about in the watercooling world (well, the popular 3, Zerex Racing Super Coolant, WaterWetter, Purple Ice) actually contain ANY anti-fungal / algae / biocides whatsoever from what I can find... despite many people stating that they do, myself included in the past...
Can anyone confirm the above??
I plan to send all 4 additives mentioned off to a lab for chemical analysis for comparison at some point anyways so that should answer the Asetek suspicions...
Next step - a suitable biocide... I'm looking for one that we can resell obviously, and came across AC Blue by a Scottish company that claims to be safe for drinking water & standing water (
Linky-linky )... all others I can find tend to either be specifically for ponds, or additives for paints or plastics...
Does anyone foresee a problem using AC Blue
in conjunction with any of the above additives
AND UV Reactive Dyes? (Mainly cos I know consumers will mix the three if all are available regardless of whether you SHOULD or not.... as we all know, any Dye starts life as a powder and eventually returns to a powder over time so detriments cooling performance significantly.... but ignoring that fact...)
