Best Cooling Fluid for a Loop

[Mick-1965]

Don't use antifreeze. Not in a modern day watercooling loop

Ive used it for almost 7 years with no problems at all

Distilled water, I was under the impression that de-ionized water is corrosive and may still have bacteria in it.

That is how I understood it too with regards to the bacteria, however with couple drops of pt nuke/silver kill coil shouldn't be any problem with de-ionised water either.

Is purified water the same as distilled? Can it be used in a loop just the same? (Im gonna use a silver kill coil, + water)

I think I know what you're talking about. You've got that big 5 litre bottle right? Yes, it is fine

Just been down to my local chemist, £3.50 for 5 litres of Distilled Water. Theyve ordered it in for me but they'll have it tomorrow and theyre only a 5 minute walk away.

Nope, can order it though! Otherwise, huh?

Well, the water I used was some distilled water. It's got a big label saying purified water on the front, it doesn't actually say distilled anywhere

 

[Frozennova]

It will probably say purified, it was listed as purified water at my local chemist. Also have some Mayhems Biocide on the way to compliment the Mayhems dye I've got already.
