What kind of dawn dish soap do you use in your water cooling?
There’s like 20 different types of dawn dish soap lol.
Personally I don’t think you need dish soap. Once you clear the bubbles initially from the tube they don’t typically don’t reform. If you are adding the tetra algicide it will also act as a surfactant. We typically recommend limiting how much additives you add to the cooling water to limit the conductivity of water, which can cause problems.
How much of the tetra algicide should I add per gallon?
About a cap full per 5 gallons is what I use.
I read elsewhere to use 1-2 drops per gallon.
So should I use a entire cap full or 1-2 drops per gallon?
I’m using 7 drops in 3 gallons.
Wow, I would definitely stay away from soap! Bubbles are no good. Just use distilled water and some algaecide. Why do you need anything else?
@SirGeekALot idk, I just read a lot about people using dawn dish soap, so I was just trying to figure it out.
@SirGeekALot some claim that dawn reduces bubbles (reduces surface friction) and clears them without up ending your machine. I tried it and it did nothing for my bubbles.
