Its says that concentrate should me mixed in 1:3 portion so full solution should be 2000ml. Isnt that enough? Oh well if not i will buy another.

I think feser also makes ready made non conductive liquid, maybe that would be the best thing? If you go for demineralized water plus additive you really should be sure of how much the water really is demineralized.

So the best thing should be Feser Aqua - FA - Ultra Pure Water then? Should i fill it 100% with that only?

I haven't used most of that gear, so can't comment on that really.

As far as the Feser Aqua goes, you may as well just buy some distilled water from the local hardware/car spares shop if you want to run it without any additives.

Are any of your blocks or fittings made from aluminium? If so, and you have anything copper in there too, you will need to add a corrosion inhibitor to stop galvanic corrosion.

I was referring to Feser One.

I'm a total noob at watercooling, this is why i ask: which is the best? I know that one should not mix aluminium and copper.
Usually distilled water and some kind of additive is used?

The best what? Additive?

I used to use Xerex but it has a nasty habit of making your tubing go cloudy. At least it did for me, many times.

I've been using feser one recently, seems to be working well and the tubes are nice and see through

No, i was asking if one should add aditive to distilled water or how does that work? Is Feser One a replacement for distilled water? I want to use black tubing, either PVC or R-3400 Tygon or the mega expensive Silver Tygon one.

Feser one is an all in one coolant so you don't need to dilute it.

Does the Feser Aqua have anything besides water in it?

I don't suppose it matters what colour you use because you will only see it in the reservoir?

Feser aqua:
"We have done it again with an even purer type of coolant, Feser Aqua which is a Bi-Distilled water (2 times distilled) and specially designed for todays PC watercooling market.
If your seeking a pure non conductive coolant with no dye pigments to corrupt the solution then this is 100% what you have been looking for"

Yes, i would rather not use any coloring substance.
So is Feser one better than Feser Aqua?
According to this Feser One is better.
Does the Tygon Silver Antimicrobial value its money? I would want Tygon R-3400 19/13(1/2") but Aquatuning.de does not have it, just the 5/8"(15,9/9,5mm) version.
