water wetter any one ?

[coolhandluke41]

Hello..dose any one have try water wetter? I like to try that stuff but i'm afraid is going to stain my loop.Thank you

Water wetter is a thing many people used years ago. It stinks and stains. Your nice clear Tygon will become pink over time.

I'd say don't use it. Plain distilled with a silver coil please. :)

water wetter is from the days of speculation and no actual empirical testing of watercooling. please don't use it :D

heh yep i used it back in my TDX days.... so long ago! XP-mobiles anyone ?

Of course, they use less Watts!!! also put your radiator before your cpu cuz it makes all the difference in the world! and 1/4 and 3/8 tubing is light years behind 1/2"

:rolleyes:

it also foams up alot, and with todays micro pins and micro channels, it will SUCK waiting for all the bubbles to die off and bleed the system

and yes it stains your pretty tygon into pink

i just go with a hint of anti-freeze and forget it.

what everyone else has said, it'll stain your tubing, and it stinks, its a throwback to the days before silver coils and pt nuke, when we all though loop order was critical, and we all thought heater cores and 1/2" tubing were king

Heater cores were king. ;)

Thank you everyone for quick reply:)

errr u need water wetter if your mixing galvanic metals.

Otherwise avoid it.

Those days have long gone and past.

Cou*TOWER BONG*gh..

Heater wut? :wasntme:

Man Naekuh, a bong and water wetter ? How could you sustain the stink ? This thing was already smelling foul through tygon walls...
(been there, done that: dont use water wetter.)

lolol..

no but a bong is better then a heatercore.

and people were running bongs back then also.

Nol is a good example.
There was no way a heatercore was gonna keep up with his TEC's.
So he ended up bonging it.

lol, I remember the days of bong coolers, i built a 4' tall 6" diameter bong with a large rubbermade container as the base, only had to fill every few days.

just recently tossed it after finding it buried behind a pile of junk in my parents house

oh man... that was right after i bought my Koolance kit, there was no way i was going to toss that thing for a giant pipe... but i always thought it was pretty fing Bomb...tried to use a glass one in a loop once ; ) ( put the bomb int he bong have a good party :D )

Why do lot of people think that there's not goinf to be oxydation if not mixing metals. Anticorrosion is always needed! DIstilled water is aggressive like hell toward metals. Oxydaion due to the distilled "stealing " metal atoms is something different from galvanic corrosion due to different metals in the loop. and usually anticorrosion works like anti algae fungi as well...

Okay....................Grinchy. I don't use anti-corrosion since day one over 2.5 years ago. What am I doing wrong?

Anti corrosion isn't antifungal in the scientific sense. You have some off stuff peeps use in loops that kinda do both.

Myself, I use bobs anti nano stuff. Anti corrosion, anti spammer, and it's a 130 lb doberman AND a thermos!

WW is good for a race car or muscle car for quick high heat performance. For Wcing it's rather useless overall.
