EK-Ekoolant

It is vendor bashing however you dress it up. mlwood37 is hardly a neutral observer is he? And I'm not accusing him of anything underhand either.

If you want to keep it fair and 'neutral' (which it isn't) he should have shared his findings with EK and allowed them right of reply before he posted on a consumer forum. Also he should have shared his testing methodology with his competitor before posting his results publicly.

Having said that I have 3 litres of EK blue sitting here unopened and based on his posts I'm not using it till I hear from more end users and/or EK themselves.
 
In light of keeping things fair.

I would ask that any official company representatives post about their own products only.

This keeps things level.

I have edited the thread to make things back on track.
 
back on track:

I got the same increase of between 2 -4 Degrees C moving from distilled water to EC-6. Seems this premixed stuff just isn't as good as plain ol wah-ter

Gone back to distilled due to the amount of times I was constantly having to break my loop!
 
No it stained his water EC meter. Unknown at this point what that is made of, probably some basic plastic, or whether they are designed for use with dyed fluids.
 
a fair point. the meter used may not have been designed to work with dyes

either way.

I have contacted EK about this.
 
im really glad I just got the clear stuff over the coloured but temps are still up by 3-4c on distilled.....
I am going to wait to see if rjk or ek post some additional info before making a decision on what to do next, what would you do though?
stick with the higher temps but have peace of mind that comes with having a proper formula in your tubes or lower temps knowing its just water?
 
I've got the same with using EC6. Its not cheap everytime having to refill with a new bottle either so I've decided to stick with de-ionised and a kill coil. Lower temps and can be flushed with minimum of fuss ;)

BUT of course that's entirely upto you - I know with EC6 I had some piece of mind.....
 
All ready was in contact with them. They pointed out the range is what is on there bottle ( i need glasses)

I've taken a picture of our label printed on the bottle:

You can clearly see we state 1.4mS/cm (which is 1400uS/cm) therefore we are not misleading anyone!

There is no pre mix on the market guys yet that can beat water because of the additives. If you made a pre mix that contain no corrosion inhibitors you could get this value down to 1/2c above water how ever to match water is another matter and is a quest many makers of pre-mix would love to achieve including my self.
