QUOTE(Quang1819 @ Sep 21 2017, 10:25 PM) Is it okay to use drinking distilled water like the ones from Spritzer or any other brands? or we can just use RO water from SeaMaster for mixing it up with antifreeze car coolant? actually if u plan to mix it with coolant, tap water also works because coolant itself is actually anti-rust distilled water is if u want to pour it straight into the radiator without adding any coolant This post has been edited by MR_alien: Sep 22 2017, 06:41 AM |

QUOTE(WiLeKiyO @ Sep 22 2017, 11:10 AM) I went to several SC, from Proton to Toyota. if theres still coolant inside your radiatorThey just pour tap water into radiator.  they're not wrong if your radiator is empty and they filled 100% tap water thn prepare your wallet  |

QUOTE(jfcheong @ Sep 22 2017, 04:57 PM) Really? I tot battery water suppose to be ok. battery water are SUPPOSED to be distilled water(last time)I topup my tangki with battery water all the while  now its kinda added with some chemical to prolong the battery QUOTE(Zot @ Sep 22 2017, 05:10 PM) What chemical? The battery water sold in shop for refill is just plain distilled water. Batteries are sold either wet (with water in side) or dry (supplied with battery water). The battery water that comes with dry type is 30~59% sulfuric acid in water. This is only one time fill. After that the top up battery water. The more pure one is double-distilled water. The best would be deionized water which has highest purity. im not sure what chemical, u can refer to the back of the bottle for the chemical contentNormal tap water will shortened battery life but can be use in case of emergency  because if it is PURE distilled water thn u can drink it...try drinking and tell u if u end up in hosp or not QUOTE(Quang1819 @ Sep 22 2017, 06:35 PM) Then those that are concentrated mix with what lol he means dnt put 100% water into the radiator |

QUOTE(Zot @ Sep 22 2017, 09:07 PM) I read mine is just deionized water. It show manganese contents but water also have it. many who work at those battery water factory did say they did added some stuff into itI taste it before. Just plain water. I'm sure not sure but i think u can use it, no harm..just watch for rust for the 1st few week if no rust thn no issue but the best is still 50% water 50% coolant for long lasting peace of mind effect This post has been edited by MR_alien: Sep 22 2017, 09:32 PM |

QUOTE(Zot @ Sep 23 2017, 05:03 PM) Battery water is for battery. For radiator should not use water because water cause rusting. Coolant sold in concentrate or diluted ready to use. Read instruction. Dilution is still using water but coolant has rust prohibition substance. coolant is basically anti-rust, so using tap water is fineI can say battery water mostly deionized water. Adding some substance in process is possible to purify water ratio is 50/50 |
