I throw 50-100 mL of silver water in a large loop and that has done me well.

Today I pulled the block apart to check for build up (member suggestion) and there was no signs of any build up....Nothing...nada....the copper was a bit discolored but copper does that right?

how long does that last till you need to re-dose?

ive run a loop for a solid year with a bit of ethylene glycol and almost 0 maintenance (a fill up or two on the rez) ... cant imagine why silver would be any different...

Ive actually never seen any growth in any of my loops.

Exactly. There's no need to re-dose.

I didn't think so.... so now that makes me think..... When I add a gram of pure silver to the rez along side the distilled water.... is the H2o still non-conductive?

H2O is conductive.

the hydro co here buys huge amounts of distilled water to spray on the lines if there is ever a fire.... I asked the head guy WTF you do that for? -arnt ya afraid of getting electrocuted or shorting things out-
He tells me distilled is non conductive so there is no worries of getting fried lol

also keep in mind that pure water is considered an insulator while impure water is not, at least to my knowledge of physics..

you are in fact wrong, pure distilled and deionized water lacks the nesessary electrolytes to conduct electricity.

physics information on water
EXACTLY!!!! +1
If you read the post about the hydro company buys distilled to spray the lines....blah blah.... Call your provider and ask them if they use it.... I betcha they do.... and for the simple fact it don't conduct electricity. We sell hydro to you guys and cant afford down time.... time is money and another reason why we can sell cheap to the locals :pimp:

water becomes conductive when metallic ions mix with the water. which is always the case in a water loop

anyways, ive always thought pull to be better than push (at least on my mcr320 with yate meds)

In chemistry lab class we did a test to see what substances had minerals that could conduct electricity and distilled water is not conductive, but we got a cup of tap water and tested it and it light up the "light emitting diode" or led and i was loling :) :laugh:
