Why Water Quality Matters

[1997]

Unang beses ko iddrain to sir. 5 yrs na kasi and recommended sa manual kada 5 yrs papalitan. Mula bnew di sya nabawasan sa reservoir.

What do you mean by rinse? With distilled water pa rin ba although di na pupunuin yung rad? Sorry got a bit confused there. Btw still planning to use OEM Toyota Long Life Coolant.

I think pwede na drain and fill na lang...

Your distilled water does nothing, it is a placebo at best in most applications, unless you're comparing it with ground water.

So what is the point of this thread then? Distilled water, is water in its purest (and cleanest) form.

aside from cooling down your engine remember that coolant has an anti-rust property to protect your radiator.

i still prefer the distilled water... pag galing sa maynilad mataas chlorine content, tapos madame din sediments...
i think mineral water sa water stations pwede na provided na mag coolant ka..

nadale mo sir...

so pag nag coolant ka you can use any kind of water?? tama ba??

q: sa mga pre mixed coolant na binebenta.. may halo ba yan na tubig?? o wala??

It helps to flush. By rinse I mean rinse with clean tap water. The OEM long life coolants are pretty reliable. Not the best but better than most aftermarket products.

don't use mineral water.. kasi may minerals yan.. dapat distilled... never use tap water... kasi may maiwan na residue dyan... buy distilled kahit yung sa SM bonus....

Sir the minerals doon sa mineral water sa mga refilling stations ay super baba na talaga as in ppm count na,.... The amount cannot be compared sa tap water ng maynilad na pati sediments visually nakikita ng mata...

Point is by demonstration of an extreme situation is what NOT to do. Distilled is the other end of the extreme and is pretty much a placebo.

Use bottled water if and when the water in your locality is very hard. Distilled water really does nothing but provide peace of mind. Then again it is your money, go knock yourselves out.

If the turbidity of the water sample is high enough that it affects its clarity, I don't think you should be using that water for anything.

The quality of tap water varies per area.

But you are right, most water purifying stations actually have filters and softening treatments.

amazing thread

no coolant is good enough. no type of water is good enough. nothing's good enough for a freaking radiator

we're living in a developing country where there are people who have no access to clean drinking water where there are many places that have no tap water tapos po-problemahin ba naman kung ano tamang klaseng LIQUID ang dapat ilagay sa radiator?

why water quality matters ^^^^^^ that's why

[lowslowbenz]

^ Your thread is about water quality, then you say that distilled water is a placebo.

What does "water quality" mean to you?

Or gusto mo lang ng discussion?

Jeez!

[lowslowbenz]

* ULS, my points exactly!

nothing's good enough

siguro pati yung tubig na ginagamit pang timpla ng gatas ng baby isnt good enough for a radiator

Oh great. uls is back in trolling form. And no amount of reason will convince the Nouriel Roubini of 3rd world prospects. Seriously move on.

lowslowbenz, for your benefit, if you have well water on one end and distilled water on the other you certainly have good ol' tap in between.

Read up the thread before you try to score hijacking a rather productive exchange.

Everyone's been having a good discussion until now.

If the water is good enough for me to drink, pwede na rin Sa kotse ko yan...

Hahaha. I better get out of this thread before I go bonkers.

Have fun people!

[miko101130]

guys remember this thread is a workshop thread, so everybody has a right to respond and discuss the cooling systems here...

I don't think the water problems of third world countries are automotive in nature.. maybe sa ibang topic yun.
kahit hindi pag usapan ang water dito, yung mga hindi makainom ng clean water will still not be able to get it...

Yes and no. In the course of normal operation there's a tendency of dissolved solids to get deposited. onto just about every surface. In the case of radiators, once a particle attaches itself to a surface its pretty easy to attract the next one. Scaling initially starts like this until tubes are either insulated and eventually clogged.

If the concentration of the dissolved solids in the water is very high (as seen in the photos) on the first post, the process is accelerated.

Hard water in most cases is still potable.

Can't remember the ppm count for this exactly right now.
