I use de-ionised or distilled water with Swiftech HydrX or Valvoline Zerex.

will 25ml of Valvoline Zerex do 1400ml of deionised water ?

i would prefere the swiftech hydrx but i will be damned if i can find anywhere to buy it from on google. plenty of reviews, but no one seems to be selling it seperatly from full WC kits.

Only 2 stockists I know of in the UK, both of whom are out of stock at the moment. I have a shedload of Zerex, but I really want the UV green without having to add my own UV dye which tends to ruin the water.

25ml of Zerex does 500ml water (at a 5% ratio) which is what you will be looking at. I always buy the 4oz fl. bottle (115ml) as it will last for 2 separate fills usually.
