Silver Coil for Watercooling

[Confused]

Hi all,

Have seen loads and loads of posts saying to use a silver "kill" coil for watercooling.

I've had my loop for about 18 months, and have only used de-ionised water in it for the entire time - though I have had it apart twice in that time to shift it between cases - and I've not got any kind of discolouration or corrosion appearing that I can see.

Would it be worth me getting a silver coil?

And - am I being dense - because I can't find anything named as such on OcUK - do they sell them? If so, please link me to it, and I'll put in an order

Search for a silver coil yourself, can't link to competitors.

Silver coils don't prevent discolouration or corrosion, they prevent algae growing. I'd say it's worth you getting one, just to be sure.
