I could be wrong but I believe WW also posseses biocide properties. Was the alcohol necessary?
My system holds easily twice what the average inline system does and I used a few drops worth of WW. I doubt that would work too well as biocide.

It was distilled water.

I used a new heatercore and tygon tube. Both were flushed extensively. The only thing I can think of was the "Marine Goop" silicon based sealant I used. Perhaps some of it dissolved something into the water that reacted with the WW.

Whatever it was it was, the stuff seems to be leaving the water in the form of a white percipitate that clings to the tygon very well. If enough settles I'll try and filter it out to see what it was. I'm just happy that my coolant stopped looking like Milk without too much trouble (so far).
