Would I use RO or DI in the coolant system? NO WAY... why? whats your block and internals made out of? Metal... metal will leach into the water because the water is "pure".... in turn it will create havic and damage to your engine. All metals will leach into the water guranteed!

Yes but if you add a DC power supply to already contaminated (Tap) water then you have increased the rate of metal deterioration 10 fold.

You bring up a good point about the water wanting to absorb what it contacts, but you are overlooking the Electrolysis that occurs with a liquid that has very little resistance. so the closer you are to pure the Higher the resistivity of that water the lower the rate the metal will dissolve into said water.

absolute is what science is always after, The closer to absolute the better in many many cases. However as we figure out how to magnify and inspect we get a better understanding of what absolute is.


My point is this, You are right with your point, the metal will dissolve into pure water. But is that rate of dissolution greater or lesser than it would be with a water that is highly conductive coupled with a 12v DC charge constantly running through it?

you made Very Very good post. that is thought provoking.
