LMAO out of stock again :D I also grabbed 3 of them.
What's the longest you people had these in your loop? I suspect silver might get oxidized and not function that well after a while (depending on tubing, some tubing is more porous and lets air in, like masterkleer)
If you mean tarnishing, it won't affect the biocide abilitiesQuote:

the water reacts with the silver and in turn prevents stuff from growing in your loop. it may not directly attack stuff already propagating, but it will inadvertantly kill things i think.
like the description says its a naturally occurring biocide, but it probably doesnt help with the white plasticizer buildup.
but what if u feser f1 fluid will it work with that or pt nuke
i would buy some then in the future
I just ordered mine. No more PT nuke. The silver coils are the way to go.
Is there a product out there that impedes the growth of that white plasticizer buildup?
yeah. Plasticizer free tubing such as the new feser/primochill lrt of tygon b-44-x

I'm in the middle of putting my first loop together right now. and basically this time around I was able to get one of these Silver Kill Coils, would someone be so kind as to tell me where I should put it in my loop. Or does it matter. I was thinking I'd just drop it inside my Micro Res v2.. would that work?
thats the best place ...i put one in mine too, if the flow is good..liquid circulating will flow thru it...
is it works with 3/8 id tubing ?
Is there something wrong with PT nuke? I admit I haven't been keeping up with the forums since I built my last loop, but I have had PT nuke + water running without changing the fluid for over two years now. The tubing (Masterkleer 7/16") is a bit cloudy, but the liquid is fine.Quote:

Also something that may be interesting... only the circulating part of the loop is cloudy, not the fillport tube (at least 1 ft of water, which I keep topped up).

really, well I have some Distilled Water, some Pentosin Blue G11, PT-Nuke, and also this Silver Kill Coil. I was planning on running just a little of the G11 with 2 drops of nuke, and the kill coil.. does that sound like ti would do the job?
For a very long time, industry use silver on refrigerators, deep freezers, wash machines, swimming pools, hospitals and as a burn curing medicine (inflammation)
-Silver is an effective bactericide for swimming pool water treatment.
-Silver disinfection is easier and safer than other purifying agents.
-Silver does not produce changes in pH thus eliminating the need to add pH adjustment chemicals.
-Silver at prescribed dosages is non toxic to humans.
Silver acts as a catalyst for oxygen of the air that's dissolved in water. The catalytic action of silver oxidizes the enzymes of bacteria and that kills the bacteria.
Additional confirmation of silver's effectiveness has come from the George Washington University Medical School Microbiology Department which tested the bactericidal effect of hypochlorite alone, compared to hypochlorite in water that also contains 40 parts per billion of silver. When 8,000 E. coli cells were introduced into chlorinated water, the bacteria kill was incomplete after 85 seconds; in water containing the same amount of chlorine plus 40 ppb of silver, the kill was complete in 15 seconds.

PT-Nuke and the Silver KillCoils do the same thing. They stop crap from growing in your loop.
The KillCoil should be all you need (unless you're running mixed metals then you need the anti-corrosive also).
Nothing wrong with PT-Nuke, just an alternative.Quote:

Would it ruin it?
For now it doesn't fit through the out barb on the Micro Res v2, but it might later after it's there a while.
As long as it does it's job, and doesn't get sucked down and ruins my pump.
no one? Im ok with it sitting in res like that. the silver wont break and fly down into my pump?
Ian could probably provide a better answer, but I wouldn't worry about something like that occurring.Quote:

Oh and Thanks for including a Pen on my last purchase. (I asked for it) I use it Daily at my desk
I appreciate it. I'll ask Iandh
sorry i didn't reply in a while, you can get it at pts http://www.petrastechshop.com/1id3odfeflpv.html (feser stuff, with colour, or go to ppc's and get the primochill lrt clear stuff)Quote:

I've got 2 in my res. They're not brittle at all so shattering shouldn't be an issue.Quote:
