Confirmed: Feser 1 Blue Premix + GTZ = do NOT want

[dingdong555]

Email sent to feser, lets see what they say this time.

[gillbot]

i need that case...

everytime someone tells me to finish a build, i wanna show them that picture. And say here is what my case says...

Where's skinnee?

[timsarg]

what about running distilled + biocide + few drops of food colouring ?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

what about running distilled + biocide + few drops of food colouring ?

food coloring is bad, I tried it. its a particulate and stains everything very quickly

[dreamaxx]

Rofl, bad luck Sniipe. Especially at Feser's response lol. As if anybody would waste their time concocting such an involved smear campaign against Feser, I mean really who would care that much? But it's amusing that they think it's what happened.

Either way, I think we need someone to actually investigate this, I'm sure I'm not the only person who will find the answers interesting. Once I have my PC up and running I don't plan on turning it off all that often. But if this is what happens when the coolant is constantly warm, well then that's not so good.

PS... Hey tim you got your account working

What do you all think?.... I have an entire other brand new bottle of feser blue fluid - should I fill the loop with feser blue again and set the machine a crunching?????

[millertime359]

Yes, but take out the primochill tubing. I am really curious if that has something to do with.

Well, I would, but then we know I'm crazy. I would only do it if you have the machine with you so you can keep an eye on it (I mean ... if it's at school or at home with you, not suggesting you carry it around all day).

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

no can do on that one, I only have primo in the right tube size

I could do it just for the summer and then before I go back to school (flow is coming with me to school and permafrost is being gifted to my younger brother

[millertime359]

Damn, its got me REALLY curious since it has some sort of anti-microbial treatment to it could it be reacting?

Well guess try it again. It only took a month for it to happen anyways......

[lordvader1982]

I'm gonna keep an eye on this too.

I've almost got all the parts for my WC setup, which includes a GTZ block.
I have a bottle of Feser 1 Black on standby, but am getting some plain ol' distilled just in case also.

Filling won't happen until some time next week, and am now thinking I'll probably just use plain distilled ...

[orangekiwii]

yeah, do it again

and if it keeps happen let it fail and then sue them















j/k don't sue them or let it fail but then seriously bring it to their attention that they need to find out what specifically causes it

[Waterlogged]

I am talking to feser right now on skype, I will try to discuss the thread with them tomorrow

yeah he logged off because it is late in the fatherland (I am german in heritage ) but we have an appointment for tomorrow afternoon to discuss it.

WHAT IS THIS?... A TRUCE?......NEVERRRRRR!!!

[dreamaxx]

Yeh, do it again Sniipe, now that you are aware of the problem, hopefully next time it happens you will know exactly what is going on. But I'd be REALLY interested to know if it does it again.

[Freonor]

Just on the chemistry side of this. It doesn't need to be released in to the water to react. You can mix two solids and still get them to react just fine. As long as the antimicrobials are in contact with each other they can react... If they do react with each other they would effectively remove the effect they're meant to give so depending on the ratio they could make your WC loop into an algae growing loop

[Navanod]

so you're saying that poland spring's labeled "Distilled water" isn't really distilled water? and that using it in my closed loop will cause bad things to happen?

Apologies for the late reply, am down with Hep A and its kinda keeping me in bed

I didn't mean to cause any alarms...I'm just saying that according to the procedures you had described, the water is not strictly distilled but it should be clean enough for a loop.

I'm just puzzled why it was done in this way and marketed as such. Where I lived, all the bottled waters are correctly named. On top of that, I work in a biomedical lab, so I'm abit anal bout labellings

alright, enough bout that, back to the topic at hand

[Navanod]

I haven't had a leak yet myself, but still new. So lets ask the rest of XS.

Has anyone ever had a leak, seeing it seems it never happens?

I had an explosive internal leak back in the early days of water cooling using very DIY parts

The "coolant" (distilled + glycol) evaporated over time but instead of topping up only water, I topped up with the remaining water + glycol mix prepared. Naturally, the ratio of water fell over time and the coolant thickens and temperature rose.

Finally, the high temp, thick coolant and poorly made barbs on one of the tubings INSIDE the case gave one night and I heard splashing sounds before the screen went black.

Oh, the parts were mostly Thermaltake + DIY


Hmmm...interesting...I have a few bottles of Feser premixed sitting around as well but just didn't want to switch out my PC ICE which is still crystal clear after more than a year. Why any customer service would shoot themselves in the foot with that kinda reply is really wonky

[Freonor]

Hep sucks :S No EtOH

[MulletBoy]

any update on this Snipe? what did Feser say in your meeting?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I was home late from work cause I'm a workaholic..... lol.

not really, I stayed late at work planning my use of the CNC router there, hopefully I can catch Feser today when I get home

[neo_rtr]

A friend tipped me of this page. Quite interesting. Sniipe godd, sorry it happend to you.
I can only report my own story and that is i been running with the Feser One UV F1 since Feb08 heavy OC on the CPU high temps, 24/7 for few months in a row. Not a single "issue" cloud or algy
Took the parts out few months back and replace the cooling fluid. It not nothing like the Pics on the thread. mine where quite clean.
still using the same brand.

[voigts]

I made the mistake of reading here at XS while eating a sandwich. Those pics are enough to make me sick! Yuck!

I hate to think what the inside of your radiators look like. I don't think I would use them without having an auto radiator shop boil them out.

I've used Red Pentosin before with just minor residue, but I'm glad I've gone with just DI and PTNuke now for over a year.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I think I forgot to post this but:

besides some clear gooey residue on the res tube and in the radiators there was no other gunk to be found - I used vinegar to check with brought some stuff out of the rads but probably because it was eating through the brass more than anything else

[millertime359]

Are you going to re run it again?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Indeed I am, tonight after my girlfriend goes home I will re-assemble the loop and get the system running
