Dirty Water

[Robdata]

after my zahlman kept stopping and beept at me I decided to give it a rinse wash.What a mess this was , could not belive how much crap and dity water was in the system. I did put that stuff in and deionisierte water so why is it still so dirty.Di I not really need to bother with the Anti-Corrosion Coolant if the water is still that messy?

Did you have any biocide or a silver coil in your loop?

 

[Robdata]

no never heard of this.Can u explain?

 

[DavyBoy]

It's probably algae that's in your loop because you weren't using any biocide, or a silver kill coil..

 

[Robdata]

i did have Anti-Corrosion stuff from OCUK in there and the water was of a brown colour not green

You should only use the blue Zalman coolant additive in a Zalman system. They run mixed metals and PVU tubing so you do really need to use their stuff to be safe.

mmm if that matters that could be the reason I used some diffrent tubes.Why does the tube matters then?

No, the tubing doesn't really matter - I was just pointing out that Zalman use 'odd' tubing, plus mixed metals and that you probably should use their silly expensive coolant rather than anything else.

Posting that I'd say - if she see's it you're likely to suffer disruption of service...

It must be that 5/16" OD tubing.
