Sugar-free syrup as watercooling liquid

[00RaZoR11]

So I got this completely transparent, sugar-free water based syrup.

It looks like transparent (not opaque) dyed liquid, except it has the smell and taste of strawberries or raspberry. It's almkst as light and fluid as normal water. I'm quite certain there's nothing organic in it.

Do you think it would survive in a waterloop on a 7700k, or would it break down, maybe destroy the copper or the tubes?

I'm gonna take a look at the ingredients tomorrow.

 

I want red fluid in the loop, but I'd prefer to avoid spending 20 usd for a bottle of premix or dyes. If you know of some alternatives with good lifetime, please share, I'm curious.

No use proper additives or you risk ruining the loop, what components do you have that are going into this loop?

How bout you check the ingrediants and get back to us.Or you know do what the rest of us do and use distilled water

I know, that's why I'm kinda nervous about it. It's an EK-KIT s240, it's not a treasure. I bought some primoflex soft tubes for it, because the included tubes leaked plasticizers like crazy. These are much much better.
I use distilled water in it. The only issue I had was most likely due to plasticizers, since I always use fresh water in the loop after reassembling it. The old tubes got hard, cloudy, and lost flexibility.

And the syrup stuff is made of mineral water, so I guess it's already a no-go from this point on. But just to be complete, it has citric acid, some sodium and sulphur based sweeteners, aroma additives, and preservatives.

I would not put anything in a loop besides specially made coolants or oil.

 

mineral oil or cooking oil would work in theory but I don't know of any testing in a loop. I have a mineral oil submerged machine and the oil has not gone bad after a 2-3 years I had it.

 

NOTE: Mineral oil hardens tubes, I am not sure if other oils do that.

Soft tubing no matter how good quality needs replacing as it ages since nice it degrades. You want to use a proper additive to prevent growth not just straight distilled water, the syrup you have has sugars and other ingredients which would easily cause growth.

Okay, thanks for the input.

Tubes degrade, I know.
Distilled water is fine, as long as maintenance is more frequent than how it would be with liquids including biocides.
There is no sugar in there. Only carbohydrates, which, as far as I know, are highly likely to cause growth.

Anyways, this concept is not a good idea (minerals and carbohydrates). I could've figured this out on my own. Thanks for the input, people.
