Default copper and aluminum...

After reading so much about the problems with copper and aluminum together, will purple ice take care of that or do I need to get a copper radiator. I have a hayden trans cooler and Im waiting for my pump and copper maze2 block from dangerden.It should be arriving this week.Ive already set up my trans cooler and it looks good,I would hate to change it,but if I have to I will... thanks

I'm not sure if purple ice says it has corrosion inhibitors or not (having never seen it), but both watter wetter and anti-freeze do so either of those would do the job if purple ice wont.

Use antifreeze. Or better yet just don't mix.

water wetter is the better option as anti-freeze impacts on the heat carrying capacity of the water

Yeah antifreeze hurts performance, but I keep remembering the pics of that guys block after he mixed Cu and Al with just WaterWetter. It corroded so bad that the waterblock sealed up and left burn marks on the Athlon packing . . .

where were these pics? I saw similar (possibly the same ) pics but I was sure that was with plain water.

Use water wetter... it will prevent the problem.
