[sykotikman]

Hi all , im looking the to change the fluid in my loop , i had been using EK EKoolant EVO Clear  which i have had in  the loop for a good year and half if not longer ,

and thought it's time for a clean and change the liquid  , but when looking to buy some more , it seems to be discontinued ,!!

 

so what would be the best coolant to use now ?

what do you use ?

thanks

Distilled water with dye if your using hard tubing and clean every 6 months

Distilled water if you use soft and dont clean much or clean a lot

Meyhems pastel if you want color and use soft and clean a lot

Dont use color if you dont clean a lot

I would recommend the successor, EK-CryoFuel.

it's soft tubing , and would like it to be clear again , ( no need for  colour ) 

just been looking at the EK-CryoFuel Clear Concentrate

I have been using EK Cryofuel. Clear in my old soft tubing build and Blood Red in my current rigid tubing build. The clear is a bit yellow-ish, not clear like distilled water. Bother times I've used it, it seems to leave outlines on the inside of the reservoir where air bubbles were as well as a line around the fluid level. Not sure if this from the coolant's exposure to air or something in it, but it wipes away when cleaning so I don't think it's permanent. It's nothing to worry about functionally but it just makes the inside of the reservoir (and maybe plexi blocks) look a little dirty IMO. 

 

It's weird that EK specifically says not to use chemicals like Mayhems Blitz to clean you system prior to using Cryofuel or even the common white vinegar mix to clean your radiators. They recommend just flushing your rads with distilled water and nothing else, so that's something to keep in mind.

Distilled/deionized water with a couple of drops copper sulfate.

Never need to change the water if your loop is clean, only copper/nickel and the tubing doesn't bleach plasticizer.
