Hi guys, pulled my Swiftech loop apart to change the block for some 2011 goodness, should i clean and refill with the swiftech Hydrx or use distilled and some Pure in there?

Hydrx is fine, good coolant, been around since forever.

bear in mind this is coming from a guy who pays $35 for LESS than a litre of milk for his loop

and likes ek..

hydrx is glycol based

its not 2005 ...the wc industry is well established
we dont have to use motor industry solutions anymore

Ordered some LU, just flush the heck out of the rad and loop and I'm good to go?

I just use super cheap auto green coolant haha.

Mainly because of the pump lubricant built in to the formula.

Tectalloy 60!!

As a bonus, if you have a leak, it nowhere near as conductive as water, and it muchly reduces the whitening of pipes, and is also glows pretty green under UV!

Please share with us what makes you think that the conductive properties of radiator coolant is less the deionised water which has and extremely low conductivity rate, and everything added to it makes the conductivity higher....
