Hi

I'm a long way off actually building the loop, but while I'm waiting for parts and mods and such I'm planning for the future.

This time around I'm not messing really with coloured coolants, so planning on using plain old distilled water. What shall I put into it for some growth inhibitor? Some biocide additive? I've also seen some stop plugs with a wedge of silver at the end which look interesting, but the only place I could conceivably add it to the loop would be an unused port on my Aquacomputer DDC pump top. It'll still be in contact with the water, so would this be enough?

I *may* tint the fluid with some diluted Mayhems Oil Black - I don't want actual black coolant, but a black tint - are we still talking a biocide additive here?

Your suggestions please for plain old distilled water :D
 
Few drops of biocide every few month. If you got the Mayhems you shouldn't have to add anything to it.
