distilled water as coolant

[bert]

---

I came across on an "IMPORTANT" label attached on the hood of my friend honda civic and its 65/35 solution. 65% coolant & mixed it with 35% distilled water. I don't know other car makers if they have the same ratio as with honda cars.

At present i am maintaining this mixture.

thanks for the info guys.
by the way, unsay cheap nga distilled water? mahal2x man wilikins no?

yup its cleaner

Share lang pod ko sa ako idea and these are somewhat like realted to REPROjects' opinion ug sa uban pod.

I remembered @ school sa physics class about boiling and cooling properties of water or even any liquid. Impurities (kanang chlorine, other minerals and stuffs nga nicombine na sa water) would increase the boiling point of water and would also increase the time for water to cool down. So basically, dugay moinit ug dugay sad mabugnaw kung daghang impurities. Pareha ra god na ug kung magluto ka, kung imo jong kuhaon ang temperature, mas init ang sabaw sa kaldereta (daghang sagol like tomato sauce, asin ugbp) kaysa binukal nga tubig. Mas dugay sad mabugnaw ang kaldereta.

Ang ako point kay if you'll use distilled water, dali ra siyang painiton kay mas ubos man ang iya boiling point compared sa tap water. Pero mas dali ra pod cya mabugnaw inig balik sa tubig ngadto sa radiator. Cycle ra baya nang tubig sa makina. So inig init as makina, naa ra joy kinutuban ang iyang kainit ug dili na molabaw pah gawas ug kung mahubsan kah. So I would highly recommend using distilled water dili nang mineral water kay naa gihapon nay impurities (mau gitawag nga mineral water) or maski kanang naa sa mga refilling station (purified water ra nah, dili distilled..gilimpyohan ra daw through a lot of filters). Mahal lang jod ning distilled water kay tungod sa procedure sa pagkuha ani niya. Rain water is also a natural distilled water ug libre pah, kinahanglan lang jod i-filter.

So ako multicab, ala ko gamit2x ug coolant. Then sa Isuzu Frontier sa akong Uncle, rain water ang iya gamit and his radiator was really clean. Pero gagamit japon cya ug coolant pang anti-rust...kay ang water when boiled, manggawas ang Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms. Then iron man nang metal. Then if magmeet ang oxygen ug iron, mahimo man nang ferous oxide or the so called "rust"..hehehe...so there are still chances you could get rust when using distilled water alone.

Hope this helps..

ang g buhat sa amo bro kay mga baril then g butangan lng ug cloth sa top para mu serve as filter then g butangan daun ug gripo sa ubos sa baril..

the same thing with me bro!

Very well said bro! thanks!

Scientific kaau ning explanation ni FuRrBaLL and very informative. thanks again everyone for sharing.

[thedreamer]

as i've heard from mechanic use distilled water para dili motaya ang radiator...

[FuRrBaLL]

correction diay mga Bro, Isuzu Fuego diay dili Frontier...I always kinda mix these two car's names...pareha man gong "F". Thanx

pila ka water ibutang sa 1liter na coolant? ok ra ang coolant sa total? asa nindot na coolant pero barato?
