[V12|V12]

A long while back I wrote about getting the mysterious "white-coats" on all the insides of my tubing and wanted to figure out what was causing this and what exactly were the plaguing things? I was at a pet store praying that I could find a new pump (cheap too) that didn't make as much latent heat/noise as my wonderful Via-1300 and stumbled upon a product called Erythromycin. It’s was supposed to stop the "white-coats," which are a mixture of lime deposits and an airborne bacteria (even more are in plain old tap water!). But for what little use of it I was going to make, I didn’t feel like shelling out near $13 for the little bottle, which I wasn’t exactly sure would work?… So I came upon an idea while cleaning… why not use some Lysol, it’s made to disinfect etc.
After adding some sparing amounts of Lysol, in hopes that I would do 2 things; 1) get rid or whatever’s coating the tubes and 2) lessening the surface tension of the water for better "wetting" action. Well it did 3 of the 2. The 3rd being after I awoke and nearly froze seeing all these bubbles that had filled all the way to the top of my reservoir! So the Lysol was out! BigBen had recommended using some SPARING amounts of Jetdry in place of the latter… And after some trials what do I have to say? NO,NO, NO!!!
I tried the 2 drops method, result; FOAM BUBBLES. Then I flushed the whole system (what a HASSLE) and made up another mixture of H20+Anti-freeze. Being that there are a few curves in my system, I couldn’t entirely get out all of the previous water-mix, but I figured that with only 2 drops in the whole batch of coolant mix I had made, what’s a little remaining going to hurt? So I added the new mixture (1:8 H2o/Anti 1500ml total mixture), result; STILL BUBBLES!!! Trying to figure out what might be causing this has been a task. Aside from now knowing to not be a cheap ass, and just spend money on some “Water-Wetter,” JetDry will NOT be in my system EVER! Alas, I’m going to have to drain the WHOLE system completely and hope there are no remains of the JetDry… If anyone had any helpful insight etc... thanks!

-Bye!
