Fesser Pre Mixed Fluid

[Grnfinger]

I have been using Swiftech HydraX for years with no issues.
No gunk build up ect....About to complete my new build and red was the theme used, Fesser makes a nice pre mixed blood red coolant.

Has anyone had a negative experience with this fluid?
I have read that adding a little distilled water to the pre mixed will help avoid any problems later on down the road is this true and if so how much do I add, not looking for pink water:D

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

A lot of great things have been said about Feser fluis, I am using it happily right now, but it doesnt perform better than straight distilled.

[BlueAqua]

Unfortunately I don't think Feser makes a good blood red color. The red is slightly pinkish unless they've released something new that I haven't seen.

[Grnfinger]

I want it for the color I've not bought into the hype.
I hope to hell its not pinkish, box is at the post office I guess I should go get it.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Well at the very least it wont muck up your system, good luck with the color though :up:

I actually just cleaned my loop after running red Fesser One for about two months. I found red gunk stuck in my CPU block and it left a bunch of red spots in my tubing. I don't know if this happens with all of the other colors, but I plan on avoiding red Feser One like the plague. Red tubing is a much better alternative if you want red.

I've been using the blue for about half a year with no issues. I just did a loop in my second rig about a month or so ago with the black (it's really more like a really dark purple) and we'll see how it goes with that. When you say red gunk in your blunk do you mean like a slime or just stains? Was this a virgin loop or had some or all of the components had previous fluids of some type used with them?

It also depends from which angle you look at it and how the daylight falls into your case.
I'm using the Feser red right now, and depending from which angle I look in my case (MM-UFO), it sometimes looks blood red, sometimes more slighty orange.
Under UV lights, it tends more to red/orange too, just like their 16-10mm UV red tubing (sold as DD 16/10 tubing over here), which I have right now.
But it's kinda disappointing that you can't get the real blood red color from it.

The pinkish color you refer to is from the older revisions (I had that too and was really disappointed from it).
The newer bottles have a new sticker.

Look at the petras red coolant. I'm yet to use it but for $4.50 a bottle, you can't complain. The red is awesome.

I've been running my loop with Feser Red in it for months and had no issues. The red is actually red and not pinkish-red unless you'll use 1/1,5mm tubing :)

[Humminn55]

Personally, I won't use another Feser color....premixed or not. I used the Feser premixed black (more dark blue/purplish) for about 4 months, and while my tubing, Primochill LRT clear, was barely stained---more clouded up----my Swiftech MicroRes didn't do so well. The pics below were after rinsing with alcohol, detergent, hot water, etc.....almost anything I could find to try to remove the staining and couldn't. (I was going to replace it with the Rev. 2 MicroRes anyway, so it didn't hurt so badly to lose this one......)

I'm using the premixed for almost 2years now (red, blue, black premixed ones)
saved few parts since it is dielectric, no gunk at all, my d-tek/ek blocks look like new...won't buy anything else ^^
I use the red one too and it looks red for me ;)

did anyone else notice the "pube" in the pic here? :ROTF:

[Grnfinger]

I have the box home now, it does look pinkish in the bottle
I'm not familiar with the sticker so I cannot say if its the new revision or not.

[Jupiler]

I'll make a pic of both versions of the bottles later on and post it here.

The pics below were after rinsing with alcohol......)

Thats a big nono! :slapass:
Acrylic + alcohol don't like each other, will cause cracks etc.

Btw, as people have said, the Feser Black is really more dark purple, from a certain angle it looks really cool put when the sunlight lights through the tubing you can really see a more purple color. We'll see how everything looks when I take the loop apart later on. So far it's looking good.

I guess reading comprohension is not a strong suit of yours, NysoO. The alcohol was used as a last resort to see if it'd remove the staining....and as I previously mentioned, this particular res. was retired to the compost heap and was replaced with the MicroRes v.2----the bottom exit was worth tossing this original. So, the alcohol was only used to see what results it would bring......didn't care if it ruined it more.

And that's not a pube! It's a bit of fur from my Chow....darned dog sheds like no one's business, but not as bad as my Golden.

I didn't mean to offend you, not at all. And I did infact read that the res was a piece of :banana::banana::banana::banana: so I got that. Just wanted to make sure that no one else will think that alcohol is good for cleaning acrylic. There are always new guys reading these posts so I don't want that to pass right through. And btw, you didn't point out specifically that the alcohol was a "last resort", so I think it was a bit harsh to complain about my reading comprehension.

Why not red tubing?

[Grnfinger]

Why not red tubing?

I have a bay res with acrylic front. Wanted red fluid for effects, it has a led light to illuminate the res, red tubes would have been easier for sure but its important to me for the over all look of the build

[BlueAqua]

What if you did red tubing and red Feser One.

Red tubing sample:

Angle / light or camera, but that is looking more like orange, no?

Probably a bit too much light which is lessening the color slightly, but it looks great in person.

How about the orange?:

Thats orange alright :yepp:

Not sure which one I would pick.. hm. I think I might like the red tint a tiny bit more.

You'd get something like this:

[Grnfinger]

Very nice :up:

Maybe I should look at red tubing along with the red coolant.

[century child]

Not a bad idea. I think red tubing with red coolant will probably be closer to the blood red you are looking for.

[Jupiler]

Thanks

I'm very sorry getting back this late (been very busy lately and forgot about this thread).
Here are 2 pics of the 2 different versions of Feser UV Red.

Left is the old version, right the new one.

[Hidetaka]

Are you sure the left one was actually sold as red? I've got some of the old red coolant [27.11.2007] and it is much redder that what you've shown.

I'm sure that that sir, is pink! I got to see red, pink and orange and I tell you now, the pink looked the reddest out them all until you took the lid off and looked inside. The old red glowed a pinkish orange, pink was pink, an dornage was this horrid wierd colour that I cannot describe. I took the pink at the time because I didn't have anything UV.

I use XSPC 3/8" ID 5/8" OD hosing, so it's thick and not the clearest of hosing, but my red - the new label - is deffo red!

Primochill Blood red tends to be "wattery" looking... but I got a bottle of the UV Red to have a try with it - looked great until this happend

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb22/Elemental-Dragon/YuckyWater1.jpg

That's after the whole loop had been flushed....

~Bex

PS. the hosing with the coils is Feser - it couldn't even do a crappy 6" turn without kinking! Got it in the bottom bit of my case too and I hate the stuff. Only used it because I couldn't get BP 45's and feser don't do 5/8" OD compressions so had to make do at the time....

Are those spots in the pink or just air bubbles?

Sorry... my eyes are bastards when it comes to stuff like this.

Nice build btw, the white light looks better than I would have imagined. I had thought about doing something similar but I wasn't sure the white light would work well.

[RCG_Bex]

Ah it's left over coolant in the hosing - I had to drain it cause 1 of the cards died. Didn't stain though, it's just not fully flushed out...

I originally tried red but it was too much - I'm stil debating white or amber.... the white is maybe a tad OP now that it's fitted properly... I really should take som epics of it actually...

>.< need to go buy more lecy tape and finish her! BF keeps moaning at me about the mess I keep making....

[Jupiler]

Hidetaka :

Absolutely.
I bought the bottle on the left almost 1 year ago, in May 2008 I think.
The one on the right was bought in November 2008.

I was kinda surprized that the fluid from the first bottle looked pink-ish, and not red (as it should have been).

[rioja]

You have good red color here!
I myself have positive experience with green feser view uv dye and negative experience with red feser view uv dye
red just does not shine under uv :shrug:
