distilled water as coolant

Hi,

Is it safe to use distilled water as coolant sa radiator?

Thanks.

[TOPER]

safe raman cguro bro, distilled water man gani akong gibutang sa akong radiator, kay ang mas dugay daw maguba ang radiator compare sa ordinary ra nga water imong ibutang.

ang pagka explain sa akong gipalitan sa akong auto bro kay iya gi state as example kung mag init ka ug ordinary water using takore, madugay nmo cgeg init makita nmo nga naay white particles nga mamilit sa takore? mas ma lesser daw na bro f distiled water imong gamiton.

wala pasad ko nakasuway ug init ug tubig using distilled water, but dn ni suway lng ko nga distilled akong gi gamit sa radiator.

hope ds would help.

other istoryans pls share ur opinions.

Actually because distilled water is basically free from sediments, chlorine, and lime deposits, there is close to zero possibility that there will be white particles nga mopilit sa kilid sa takori. It is therefore not only safe but even very advisable to use distilled water as radiator water. In my case, I just use clean and filtered rainwater kay dili man gihapon na mo produce ug white particles. I also use rain water in fact for my windshield washer. Just my two cents bro.

ako kay nature spring ako ebutang..
sa windshield washer og sa isagol sa coolant...

ask pata sa uban mga expert about ani..

if your car is using water,it is highly advisable that you use distilled water like Wilkins due to the fact that ordinary water leaves white particles when it is heated. If your car is used to running in coolant,don't switch to distilled water as per advise of my mechanic... the reason??.... I forgot jud! hehehe!

thanks tanan. naka research ko but USA man to puros nga sites so lahi jud ilang situation did2 kay mo ice man ilang lugar so mixture ilang suggestion. mixture of distilled and coolant pero dli daw dapat ang mineral water.

@REPROjects

most of the guys i know use distilled water instead of coolant. i for one uses distilled water.

distilled water gyud sakto than tap water..... and add 1liter coolant nalang pud....

I think distilled water still has the best cooling properties.
Pero adviseable ra gihapon mo add ug coolant tungod sa anti-rust ug anti-boil properties niya.

Coolants tend to increase the boiling point of water. I remember reading a nice article on this somewhere sa internet before.
When water boils, mo-reduce ang iyang cooling capability (or ability to absorb heat) tungod sa presence of air bubbles...so it is really a bad thing nga mag-boil imo coolant sa imo radiator...
IMHO
