lets ALL figure out the fogging of tubing issues!!!

[NaeKuh]

I know a simialr thread went around a year or two ago and the result was plasticizer leeching out of the tubing and fogging.
Edit: here is the thread:

Exactly your just reposting a thread instead of just digging.

Its the plastercizer dude. Those of us that dont use aftermarket coolants, and dont use dyes or additives of any kind dont have this problem.

Im using the same tubing ive used since the first build, and no clouding yet.

The trick is once u set it up, DONT DRAIN IT.

hmm...really?why not,if theres floaties caused by errosion of copper blocks,rad debris with water ripping threw it and u wanna flush em out.they will and can appear.i imagined draining or sucking with a shop vac like i do(takes 15 seconds tops)is fine then refill it.the inside of tubing doesnt have time to dry.anyways..

naeku---what are you running liquid wise?

the engy from tygon just called me btw...he said tygon r3603 has a higher water asboration rate then tygon 2075 but..only good til 50c or so.so u must keep it cooler.eg:no quad priming hittin 80 etc..

he also said this sounds good- http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/feaqfaulpuwa.html with a drop or 2 of antibacterial drops from aquarium store.he said that sounds like a winner for running what were doing.WITH flushing every 6 months or less for optimal performance and degration prevention of inner walls crap buildup.

i was explained to completely reuse the tubing by getting haze out is to autoclave it(steamed water)then dry heat...

because when you drain, you then get additives to deposit along your walls which then accelerates it.

Dye, well you know what a dye is, and i find it suprising that you guys didnt think it wouldnt dye your tubing.

So if your the type to drain and fill more often, you really dont want any additives in it.

I only run straight distilled with silver inside.

If it's plastercizer, why would having coolants, dyes, additives even matter? Why would draining the loop or not draining it matter? This post makes no sense whatsoever....

Read my explaination.

i said the additives will build up on your walls if you drain it, and then accelerate it.

how will additaves build up on your inner tubing walls if u FLUSH them out with a good 30min session looping fresh distalled water?


vs not flushing the old water u may have had threw a year or so with particle breakdown on components copper,alumin,slime,sludge,algae etc.. ..?

and your saying just plain distilled water no antibacterial drops?

Your statement is not based on any testing or fact.....just a guess I bet.

[NaeKuh]

My R3606 clouded up on me in about 2 months, this has yet too. I'd love some insight on why you don't agree on my choice

No im saying im about to go on that tubing and use dyes to see if its really all that.

ummm its based off my many years building.

To most people a flush means drain and refill.

If you mean a complete flush, people have cleaned there tubing spot free with scrubbing bubbles, which also confirmed that it was a buildup on the tubing walls.

I was referring to your statement that:
"Those of us that dont use aftermarket coolants, and dont use dyes or additives of any kind dont have this problem."

This is just an assumption you've made...that's all....not fact and is frankly untrue. Adding fuel to the fire, see the post above....

no not using any additives or dye extends the life of your tubing.

this is fact.

You trying to pick a fight with me?

Draining your system allows the buildup to deposit on your walls, which is why srubbing bubbles takes it all off and returns the tubing clear.

It really sounds like your trying to pick a fight with me expecially since i know you know all this from previous discussions.

I might be new around here as registered but i have read these boards for awhile. My opinion here is if NaeKuh speaks its never BS. Naekuh and others who have been on here for a long time know their stuff and they are the reasons why I am going with Distilled water with (killcoils-iandh) silver. if you want color, i think just get UV tubing like Primochill Primoflex LRT tubing.
