Which would be better to put in my Chiller with some anti-freeze? I have both so which one?

What about corrosion? I have copper, aluminum, and some other metals in my Water Chiller. Would S-L-X not cause corrosion? Also what about windshield wiper fluid? I also have 5 gallons of the wintergrade forlmula good to 0F?

I used De-icer windshield washer fluid (prestone brand search for preston de-icer) Its good down to - 34 F ( almost -40 c).

I have no corrosion problems yet so maybe you want to look into that, at $2 a gallon I couldnt pass it up :thumbsup:

A good price, that might be a good idea

How cold can pure S-L-X get before it becomes slushy or frozen?

S-L-X is denatured ethanol & freezes @ -114C i think ... i haven't experienced any corrosion probs thus far

Thanks, It appears that I will be using S-L-X.
