    Question about coolant

    I have been doing a lot of reading and found a lot of conflicting information. I know this has been talked about before but I want opinion on a good coolant to use. I am thinking of using the blood red primochill coolant. Or do you guys think I would be happier with distilled water and dye like Feser View Active UV Dye (Red). I know using dye makes more work but what I read it really does not hurt anything am I correct in this??

    Could someone or everyone recommend a good colored coolant or dye to use in my system?

    I know pure water is the best conductor of heat but i want it pretty!! LOL

    Don't use dye, or any additives; just use distilled water (aka car radiator top-up water).
