this stuff any good and does it have bad sideeffects like water wetter's staining?

I have two bottles, but have never bothered using them, anti-freeze is so much cheaper...

[sparkie34]

i use it in both my rigs and have never had a problem. No...it does not stain your tubing.

hows the UV effects? and what color?

[gkiing]

It's green UV which works quite well if you don't add too much, but beware, hydrx tastes nasty (dont ask). It does make the tubing foggy; it stains it a little bit.

woooooooooo extreme-duty-coolant

im stickin with my antifreeze

[gkiing]

Yeah, I would use antifreeze but I dont want to be inhaling the fumes from my cooling tower, lol

I found that a dehumidifier treatment (algaecide) works quite well too for keeping the undesirables out.

Well, anti-freeze does work, but it also thickens your coolant, which reduces flow rates.

And anti-freeze is just that, a freeze prevention additive, water cools several times better than it does.

The Hydrex is better than anti freeze for a couple differant reasons.

1) It doesn't thicken the water reducing flow.

2). Less (by volume) is needed so you maintain a higher % of water, which improves cooling.
