pmfranke:
Be sure to change it out or add Antifreeze in your local when the seasons change. BRRRR.......Look up "Cold" in the dictionary and there is a picture of a "Truckee City Limits Sign"!

DI water is a mistake. It is very corrosive to metals. That is why it is used in silcon wafer fabs to pre-etch and clean all trace metals from the wafers.

Yes, distilled water. I use the same formula and throw a can of lube/anit corrosion stuff in just to make me feel better. Clean as a whistle even with an iron block, copper heater core and aluminum radiator even after almost two years.
