Making your own Biocide?

Last response: in Components
Share

Hello,
I am going to put together a liquid cooling kit. I have looked at a brand of biocidal water additive called Dead-Water by IandH, it says that it is 5% copper sulfate and 95% distilled water. So I took my copper sulfate and added it to the proper amounts of distilled water, Is it safe, and will it function the same? it has seemed to dissolved very well and i have it in a small plastic container.

Best solution

As long as your CusO4 is pure, theres no reason you can't mix your own but for the time and effort, you may as well buy it as mentioned, unless you are planning on some super 10L loop?
UV cathodes, silver killciol or storebought algaecide are all perfectly good solutions on their own or in conjunction, but the algaecide is the only one that will detract from the cooling potential of a loop, the other two do not affect the waters makeup and therefore don't reduce its power

Yup, and remember to read AND follow the instructions, you may think increasing the % of it in the solution is a good thing, but they recommend a certain mix for a reason :) 
Thank you for B.a. man, glad to help
