RE:Reverse-osmosis purified water in cooling system?

Subject: RE:Reverse-osmosis purified water in cooling system?

I am starting to wonder about you.

The whole system is charged electrically with all connected metals (including the radiator) being a ground.

The positive has these things called wires that have insulation around them to carry the positive charge

If I wanted to Electro plate something I would put some sort of metal in a tank and inside that tank I would have a Cathode and an Anode. Depending on the polarity I would be dissolving one metal and the those particles would run to the other side of the charge and stick.

So the whole Motor being used as a Grounding platform and attached to the frame is One side and the power we use (12 v DC) is the other side. That current is traveling through the frame/Motor to complete the circuit and unfortunately for us a side effect is a mini Electrolysis tank inside the block.

How is this part of the discussion today? If we have a very conductive water in the cooling system, we are dissolving metals.....from one side or the other......faster than if we have a water with a high resistivity.

Your messing with me aren't you? I get it now.....ha ha, mess with the geek
