How much coolant?

[MaXXimus]

I almost forgot to add coolant to my shopping list and wondered how the heck do I know how much I will need...??

Just pick up a gallon of distilled at your local supermarket. That way you have enough for cleaning your parts and filling up when done. From my experience I usually use about 1 liter to fill my whole loop.

0ml.

Don't buy premixed coolant. Go with the above advice.

A gallon of distilled water + 4oz of Pentosin (for blue or red), HydreX (for green) and many others.

Well I want to get premixed for the UV, so I was going to try Feser One... not only does the UV look incredable but I have been told its performance is very good. I already know to stay away from the XP stuff due to leaving slim in the loop...

So having a 120.3 and 2x120.2 in 3 loops I would only need a gallon?

I find that the Koolance coolant is rather good and does a great job of keeping bacteria down. I had some in my loop for over a year with no funky build up in my tubes

I see they dont have UV blue... I want blue and green

Your link is for Green UV and I know they have that, its the blue I want and they dont have... as for your blue UV tubing I would prefer an actual liquid over colored tubing because I have seen pics of it under standard lighting and it looks kind of cheesy. Odd they dont have blue UV when so many other companies offer it... oh well, looks like I will stick with Fesor One and see what happens.

Back to one of my unanswered questions: So having a 120.3 and 2x120.2 in 3 loops I would only need a gallon? Case is a Lian Li V2100 with the 120.3 top mounted and the 2x120.2's bottom mounted.

Is that UV? And how long ya been using it?

 

[nightwalker]

Primochill ICE is shite unless ur using a solid color because the colors in the liquid seperate and turn it funky, like once i used the UV green and it turned a nasty pinkish color after 2 weeks aswell as staining my tubing.

Do yourself a favor, and buy Dtek Dyes. They're the only ones that stand the test of time IMO.
