Tygon Clouding Pictures after 3 Weeks

xtremedetailz · 17 Sep 2010 at 17:37

Right guys due to upgrading blocks and getting a 120.4 rad i have sold my Delta V3 and RX120.1 so broke it up today.

I am honestly shocked on how bad the Tygon has clouded over the 3 weeks of use.

It was brand new hose and never been used, running a fully flushed rad and block with a brand new res on my D5 (pics added) with de-ionised water 2 drops of PT Nuke and a Silver Kill Coil.

Look at these pictures and tell me its not wrong...

My Tygon always used to go like this.

What after just 3 weeks

I now want some that doesnt cloud like this... what would you guys recommend ?

Jokester · 17 Sep 2010 at 17:48

Yes. I always put it down to additives.

what so pt nuke will do that ? or the kill coil ?

Its the PT nuke. Shouldn't have bothered with it. PT nuke clouds every tubing iv used it with. Your better off with just a kill coil. Post# 666

sorry for being off topic but whats the d5 res like? Was thinking of getting one but can't find reviews anywhere.

I had a similar experience, with clear Masterkleer, pt nuke and di-ionised water. Although it did take a little longer than three weeks to cloud up.

I stripped down my loop after a year, checked all the blocks, rinsed every thing out. It was just the tubing that was affected. Anywhere it had come into contact with the water there was a very fine coat of "something".

I am now using the xspc in uv blue and very nice it is too. Bends well, offsets the shining silver of my fittings well and more importantly, after a two months of use, no sign of the clouding that the clear tubing suffered from.

I wonder if you can ditch PT-Nuke/kill coils by using this?

It seems good mate, in fact better than i expected.

Did you use anything Alcohol based to flush the loop ?

rjk · 18 Sep 2010 at 12:41

as stated - its the nuke

must be as I have tygon with Fezer (yellow) had it in about 18mth no clouding at all.

18mths is good going although you should perhaps do a little maintenance and check for Feser gunkage in your blocks.

The idea of the kill coil is you dont need to use any PTnuke. I used 3 drops once and i had that same cloudy crap in my res/pump/fittings etc etc.

Yeah Might have to, but the flow still seems fine and temps are also the same as ever. such a mission to take it all apart but guess I will have to get round to it.

I'd love to know this too...
I've recently ordered H20-220 Edge kit from Swifttech.
But if the kill coil is no good after some months, I may consider this tubing.

That sucks I thought Tygon was "suppose" to be the best. It's like medical grade or something?

jalyst · 23 Sep 2010 at 09:32

who said it was crap?
