Final check on my watercooling loop before I order

If that Were actually true people would not still be having this issue. The problem is not just aluminum it is the interaction between different metals that causes the problem. I could go into a whole spill about the chemistry, but the simple answer is this. The fewer metals within the loop, the less likely hood that corrosion will occur in your loop. Even with this rule being followed there is still the possibility of it happening, in the time that I have been here at tom’s I have helped three people with corrosion within their loops. Out of about 200 loops that I have seen, so the problem is not rampant by any means. The only commonality I could find with their systems was that they were built up over years, and because of this there where a few different types of fittings being used. If I were to guess I would say that this is the issue, but I do not know for positive. What I do know is that after coating the affected fittings with finger nail polish or repainting them, and adding water wetter to their system the corrosion has not returned.
