"Distilled water"

[xeks]

Seems legit to me.

Is it worth risking??

[xeks]

I don't think there is any risk ergo it being legit.

How will temps be with that compared to premix?

Unnoticeable I would say. If you're that worried and are okay spending probably 8x for mayhem pure water vs distilled then go for it. Like I said it seems like Watson is a major player in your region of distributing water so their distilled water is gonna be as advertised.

I don't know which guides you've been reading but I don't see why you'd have to unless you've really messed up somewhere. 

Sometimes its easier to use a toothbrush to clean a block by hand. It would take far longer and it would be far less through if you didn't take the block apart. That's why they are made to be easy to take apart.

Interesting... Why would you have to clean the block like that unless you've done an improper setup? I've never heard that from any of my friends nor experienced that myself.

You only need just one. Personally I like kill coils.

So I don't have to add any other additives to the water? Will the kill coil get sucked into the pump? lol

[xeks]

My res came with a anti vortex inlet pipe or something which extended the inlet pipe within the res by a few inches so my coil just sits on the bottom not moving.

Also you can manipulate the coil so it's larger than your inlet.

If you want to get rid of dye staining for example.

Ah makes sense.

So a biocide is definitely worse than a kill coil? How come?

Didn't say it was worse. It's all preferential. Biocide needs to be added every time you flush out the loop is all.

I think I'll probably get both, but I'll use only the kill coil and leave the biocide as a spare. It's only a few extra dollars so might as well get both to be safe

[Cs342]

PS. How many drops of biocide do I add? Just 1?

Dunno. Never used it. Instructions will tell you.
