Primochill ICE losing its colour

Ducky Spud · 2 Oct 2009 at 17:21

The stuff in the jug is the same as in the bottle, its just been in my loop for 2 weeks or so

To be honest the morning after I started using it the colour had clearly faded but I just sort of ignored it.

I know its just looks and cooling wise it still did fine, but distilled water would be fine and wouldnt cost me £10 a bottle or whatever it is!! Not impressed at all with it and wont be buying any again. Been using some Feser One for several months and it looks the same as when it went in, god knows why the primochill has faded so fast!

Anybody else had this problem?

Take a look inside your water blocks to find out where the dye has gone...

good luck

edit: I had blue feser do this. Deionised all the way now

I have the black/UV blue and after a week it went totally clear.

I won't use ANY of their products again.

THIS STUFF

i've got uv purple feser in atm and it hasn't lost any of it's colour.

this has been in for a good 5 months

Maybe it's a bad batch then.

Similar to the feser Im using then, been in about that long and still fine.

Looking at changing colour soon though but will definately be going for feser one again

the feser i had dyed everything...so i thought i would try a red dye bomb for my next buiuld...red colour was stuck to the tubing and clear within a week.
use coloured tubing all dyes are crap.

Yea, was thinking about what colour to change too and decided to just go for black tubing and clear Feser, just ordered. Was thinking blue but I dunno... All the trouble with coolant dying things and changing colourl, coloured tubing seemed easier lol.

I have black tubing. Not completely sure why I decided that was a better idea than clear, but I'm sticking with it. Tygon probably is worth the price, its ridiculously overspecified for a computer cooling system though.

Deionised water and a silver kill coil next to one of the radiators here. Don't see any good reason to change

Tygon looks good but to be honest, now I dont have many tight bends in my loop. My old dual loop would have been easier with it but for now XSPC tubing is fine. But yea, was trying to decide between blue Feser and clear tubing or black tubing and whatever coloured Feser

Went for black in the end and got some UV blue coils too, but clear coolant... like I said, cant be bothered with the dyes anymore. Went for Feser Clear over deionised water just because I dont trust myself to make the water non corrosive and 'none algae' or whatever

if i had opaque hose, i'd defo go with distilled water/kill coil/anti corrosive... don't see the point in having coloured stuff that will gack up the blocks going through them...

xspc hose is pretty damn good, cheap as chips too! although i have to say that tygon lab-grade hose looks freakin' sexeh!
