Questions about coolant mixture

[Wenro]

I am regarding to drain and re-fill my computer and I have the following substance: Zerex Super Coolant (from dangerden.com) UV Water Dye-Lite (from dangerden.com) PT Nuke Pentosin G12 Coolant Additive ("Red" UV Reactive) to be straightforward, I am not certain how much is left of the on top of products but I believe I have a respectable amount of everything. On the other hand, I am mystified on what everything is. The PT Nuke is a biocide which I believe I be supposed to utilize no matter what, right. I am using copper so I believe I presently necessitate 2 drops of it overall or what should I had to do here.

You do not necessitate utilizing Zerex and Pentosin you do not be familiar with if they would mix well anyway, a number of things mixed determine to cause solids to impetuous out of the coolant. It frequently looks similar to white flakes floating approximately in you tubing. You would presently utilize the Pentosin and PT Nuke for a biocide, its one small amount of Pentosin to 9 or 10 small amounts of distilled water and a couple of drops of the PT nuke to, that the entire the Nuke you necessitate is a couple of drops for the complete loop.

The entire I utilize in my loop is distilled water, 2 drops PT_nuke and my UV dye. Prepare for publication I keep in mind you saying your present combination was getting brown and murky. You might desire to flush your loop a small number of times using a vinegar & distilled water combination, get the entire that malicious stuff out. Why be supposed to not I utilize the Pentosin and the Zerex. It looks similar to you utilize a water-wetter which is presently what Zerex is, right. Even though, I consideration Zerex was a coolant and I contemplation Pentosin was merely a UV preservative.

You are tempted to immediately do that. It's a pain in arise to shape out the entire these chemicals and which ratios you necessitate them, etc. Anyways, how much vinegar be supposed to you utilize. You have a bottle of white vinegar, is that what you necessitate. In addition, be able to you presently mix a bunch of it and pour it into your loop and let it drain out your t-line. Afterwards you determine to utilize a bunch of plain distilled water to clean out the vinegar you guess. You believe it said that you let the radiator soak for 24 hours but you are too apprehensive to wait that long.

Well you said that for the reason that you have by no means tried mixing them yourself so you do not be familiar with how they would react you do not ever recommend something if you have not previously completed it. Yes Pentosin is presently antifreeze it used as an anti-corrosive and pump lube. Yes you be able to presently utilize 10% white vinegar and the rest distilled, work it in your loop for a couple of hours and then rinse it 2 or 3 times with plain distilled to get the entire the vinegar residue out, vinegar is corrosive and determine to maintain eating the copper if you leave any in it.

I have determined to go back to Water Cool'N. But my apprehension is what coolant combination\additive you utilize. My most recent setup lasted regarding 1 year. I had to modify coolant 3-4 times, regarding every 3-4 months, subsequent to the end of the year I had the entire this gunk build up in on the walls of my tubing, checkered out my Water block and there is no deterioration(presently the white filmy gunk) My last combination was 10% antifreeze an 90% distilled water.

Presently regarding several coolant determine to give you the white build-up ultimately, using tygon might slow it down. I had a loop hooked up for testing and it was unadulterated distilled and subsequent to 4 days I might observe a slight haze on the tubing, and that was with no additives. I am moderately innovative to water cooling. I have been using PC ICE for regarding a month at present and have not noticed several buildups at the entire in my hoses or components. I am guessing 6+ months determine to be the real test although. I am hoping to go a year or so without having to confusion with anything.
