distilled with a biocide for nickel components

distilled and a kill coil for copper components.

same choices as last year, and the year before and the year before that.....

 

water breaks down, yes and so does all other coolants, too. most coolants are

water-based, any additives included will cease to be absorbed by the water after

time. spending extra can be someone's thing, but i'd like to know i am spending

practically. eventually, it has all gotta come out and discarded, through a

malfunction, leak, or maintenance. you don't reuse coolant. some do reuse it,

but contamination, oxidation, exposure can easily foul the re-introduction of the

used coolant. distilled/deionized is plentiful and accessible, unlike the simple

tube of TIM paste (that everyone is always short on)
