Would it be ok to mix with "Fesser Aqua Pure" distilled water?

Thanks.

**mlwood37** · 03-02-2010, 04:46 AM

personly i would not mix any thing with fesser as i dont know what they have in there Liquids allso i know fesser stuff blocks systems.

I just noticed you live in darlo. ! were abouts ru. if you want i can give you a bottle of real decent premix and some dyes ... that way youll know it will all work esp since you live close.

How much gunk do you guys reckon a couple of drops of dye will leave in a loop?

I'm hoping these dyes aren't like Feser.

I really don't know why they call that stuff "Aqua Pure", it should be "Acid Pure"...it says right on the bottle that the pH range is 2-3 which is an acid.

Dyes dont leave "Gunk" .... dyes stain . and if you put the wrong inhibtor in then you system will "Gunk" up like mad. And if you put to much biocide in you dyes will change colour.

well, i finally got my mix kit yesterday. made one really odd color. didnt think of actually using red, but i do like a good purple. anyways, the mix looks a deep red in some light, purple in others, glows a nice purple under uv. Still, the oddest part to me, under a bright blue led, it glows a bright orange? its a mix of 2 candy red, 1 purple, 2 uv blue and 1 uv pink. mixed into a 500ml water bottle.ill see if i canget some good pics. might be hard though. im really tempted to use this color though.

lol so your having fun making up you own colours.

**kwscore** · 03-06-2010, 07:38 AM

2 week and i still waiting to my dye

**malkiewicz** · 03-06-2010, 07:54 AM

Can you mix your UV dye or powder with antifreeze coolant.... I live in japan and they make many different colors of antifreeze but none are UV....

**malkiewicz** · 03-06-2010, 07:56 AM

I like your PC.... Were did you get your red LED aquearo...

How did you take these pictures that you posted in the thread if you don't have dye?

**kwscore** · 03-06-2010, 08:24 AM

Thx Malkiewicz

Red Led Aquaero its a Foil

**malkiewicz** · 03-06-2010, 08:37 AM

the powders can be mixed with anti freeze. You only need a tiny ammount.

On another note ive spent the last 5 days testing most of the top brades of pre mix from diffrent makers about there conductivaty.

Ill let you know how its all gone once ive completed testing all the diffrent fluids i have. (inc all the big named brands)

Real world test none of the crappy lab tests going on here

....

I know my coolant's conductive, but that really dosen't bother me (I forgot to attach my return line prior to leak testing - Ops Lost a few things)... I usually test my loops for a few hours prior to powering up the rest of my system (I'm kind of impatient)... The coolant I use works great and it keeps all of my components free from bacteria and corrosion (Tried many of the other brands but most of them leave a heavy residue. I'm looking for something that'll add a little spice to my current coolant without creating toxic fumes or loss of corrosion protection...

A slight glow looks good IMO...

**Alien Grey** · 03-07-2010, 01:22 AM

What's so important to have non conductive coolant when they all become conductive after some time and dust in your case and on your hardware components also make the coolant become conductive?

Well its very important to be honist if a company says its none conductive then it should be under normal working pratices.

Out of all the ones tested only one didnt blow up a PC and that wasnt even mine that was fluid XP. The others Feser, primochil, thermochll, mine all took out the pcs with in seconds. Becuase ive been running these tests and ive seen what happens ill be removing the bit on my bottles that says none conductive because im not going to use bull to sell my stuff. i like honisty.

Over here in the UK if you sell some thing that says none conductive on the bottle and say it does blow some ones pc you in for a hell of a time becuase if you were taken to court you would lose "Big time" for faulse advertising and misleading print. If its none conductive in the bottle and conductive out then it should say that. Id like to see a company get away with it here in the UK in fact id like to see a company get away with it anyware.

The only thing i would suggest using in that would be clear UV blue. Or powder dyes. You could try out a small sample in a glass or vial or test tube and put it away for a couple of weeks and see if it goes well. After all the colours i use are basic colours with no addatives so i see no reason why it wouldnt work how ever i wouldnt like to State that as a fact.

**mlwood37** · 03-09-2010, 07:12 PM

what are you thoughts on these guys and girls.

**woffen** · 03-09-2010, 10:35 PM

I'd go with number 2!

It has this Eco look to it which is popular these days
