EK-Ekoolant

[cammy5477]

I bought two of these for £2.80 each with free delivery (thank you ocuk)
on a trial deal problem is since replacing my distilled water with it my temps have rose 3c maybe 4c im going to give it a bit and see if as it beds in so to speak they drop down, who else has EK Ekoolant and what fluid have you changed from and what are your temps?

Not put any in my loop yet to try, were your ambient temperatures the same?

yes mate, exactly the same

coolant is different to distilled water.
a glycol based coolant is never going to be the same as a distilled water based coolant like Mayhems X1

why use coolant then over distilled water/kill coil combo?
I had distilled in there for a year with no probs and no corrosion, furry blocks etc etc.....just thought I would give this a spin because it was such a good price think I may check out the mayhems x1

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?
