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

[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.

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

ummm its based off my many years building.

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

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 am going to have to agree with NaeKuh on this. The less additives the better on tubing. It just stands to reason that less chemicals and additives = less wear and chemical reactions. I tried dye bombs and other additives only to result in clogged blocks, stained tubes etc. Sure it may not happen to absolutely everyone and that is what we need to find out....WHY? Why is it one guy has only distilled and gets algae and another does not? Why does one guy get foggy tubes and another does not?

i'll say this once again.

if you ever owned a fish tank...

this statement holds true.

ALGAE IS LIKE THE ROACH IT WILL GROW ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE!!
Which is why you need to keep it in check b4 you see it. If you see it and then try to keep it in check, its already too late.

so true.less is more.


@naekuh...REALLY nice rig man!.do u have alink to that intel proggie u were burning in with?


check this out guys- Feser One & Feser Aqua Non-Conductive Coolants

THE pure water

"Feser Aqua is bi-distilled water and is specially designed for today's PC liquid cooling market.If you are seeking a pure, non conductive coolant with no dye pigments to corrupt the solution, then this is a 100% what you have been looking for!!Feser Aqua was filtered through 2 different processes of distillation, hence the term "bi-distilled". First the fluid passes through the reverse osmosis system, shortly after it runs into the down streamed de-ionized system. The PH-Value is 2.0 ~ 3.0 and lies in the acidic PH-range. "

Sorry not trying to pick a fight...tough day. All I'm saying is that the plactisizer release isn't accelerated by additives. I think additives may increase cloudiness of the tubing for other reasons but I've run straight distilled and still get the cloudiness.

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.

I tuned into this thread in order to read current opinions on clouding, not to see the latest excuses for why some people simply can't be wrong.

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.

TBH, there have been many, many statements about what the best coolant is over the years, and like someone said, one person with X will get clouding, while another person who uses X won't. To me this means that the jury is still out.
