Hi guys. What is the best fluid for water cooling systems? I am using distilled water. Should I use any additives to prevent corrosion? I have all copper components. What do you think?

You should use additives to prevent algae build up, or a silver kill coil. There isn't really a best coolant, the differences between them are very small.

Cheapest option would probably be water/distilled water.

Probably a nano-fluid with ani-corrosive/algae properties. Best value would be distilled water because it's like a dollar.
