Notice the bottle of concentrated coolant says to mix with deionized water. Is there any reason they don't list distilled water? Some benefit over it?
I read this from the internet - do you guys think this is nonsense:
(Seems a little over dramatic to me. Why would the manufacturers all put mix with deionized water on thier bottles if this were the case - what do you guys think)
=========================
Note: Don't use deionized water. Use only distilled water.
Deionized water is water that is acidic from the H+ ions. The PH acidic and as a result attempts to correct this by pulling metal from the radiator (it will corrode the water blocks to get
its ions back) to correct the imbalance. While the significance of the PH isn't anything to be concerned with right away, over time this can have an effect on a radiator. Using deionized water a few times really isn't a big deal, but being left in for an extended period of time can have harmful effects.
Distilled water is distilled water. Neutral PH and no mater how many times it is steamed, it is still distilled water. This is why all race orgs say to use "distilled" water only vice deionized OR distilled water.
