    Water Acidity Level

    Ok I was wondering because I added 6 or 7 drops of iodine into my loop, I was wondering if this would unbalance my loop and corrode my CPU block and or pump

    Why did you add iodine to your cooling solution? Color or biological down sizing? This has been done before and I don't think it causes any problems. Might dye your clear tubing slightly.

    7's overkill. 1 or 2 is all that's needed. You'll need a buffer added to your solution now.

    Personally, I'd drain it and redo the solution with only 1-2 drops this time. However, you can always try to balance it with Pentosin which has a PH of 7.5.

    Put a small coil of silver wire in your reservoir and forget about it. Or get a silver water block.

    so can 1-2 drops of iodine be used as a biocide? I'm a little confused on the whole biocide thing. I'm goign to be using pentosin in my new loop. So i was going to go with 97% distilled and the rest pentosin with 2 drops of iodine. Should I be using something else?
