I run deionized water in mine. My belief is that it is better. We'll see. The belief is based on deionized water is not electricity conductive. The more minerals in the water the more electricity conductive it is. The more electricity conductive, the more galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals in the system.
The claim is (and it is grounded in fact) that distilled water, having been stripped of its mineral/metals content by virtue of its evaporation (first stage of distillation) seeks out free metal ions and strips them from the parent metal. Now in my case, several things may have happened that have allowed my system to function just fine. 1. The addition of Water Wetter curbed the appetite of the distilled water so that in almost 4 years, no visible degradation has occurred. (presumption on my part) 2. The amount of metals required to satiate THIS volume of distilled water have been leeched out into the water volume and now it won't take anymore (it's full now). This may be a MUCH more valid concern where continuous, fresh distilled water is added over and over which is NOT the case with this system. 3. Maybe at 5 years the entire system is consumed by the "Bad Water" and my cooling system disappears...Pretty unlikely I think. To sum it up, MANY people with VERY good intentions have reached out preaching that distilled water is the devil, and in certain situations they are correct, talk to sailors that consumed a ready diet of reclaimed water on early Navy ships, they have some stories... But as you can see in the video (I'm assuming you watched it) there was no VISIBLE damage anywhere. I'm hoping a PhD in Chemistry stumbles across this video and chimes in, my last Chemistry class was in 1984, and I worked for the teacher after school so I had an easy ride. Oh the stories I could tell.
@@TargetForge Thank you very much for such a detailed answer. Just got a yong heng compressor and I envy your water cooling solution :) Is this all selfmade? The radiator, the cage and the temperature control? For my use case I think I will stick with a little water tank, filled with distilled water and your recommended Water Wetter coolant.
You should check out the rest of my content on the Yong Heng, it will answer many of your questions, I think. Yes, I designed and built it, and tinker with it endlessly. New episode coming soon!
@@wruehl You did a really good job on that. Looking forward to the next episode. Will be watching your other Yong Heng related content now. Best regards.
@@TargetForgedear good day sorr you busy, you always whatch nice videos. I congratulate you. I have a question for you, I would be happy if you help me. I bought the new yong heng smart digital. I use mountain water, 12 liters + 2 liters of red antifreeze g12+ or g13. Will there be corrosion?
@@kricketkricket6737 A true answer to your question is unknowable without analysis of the materials you are using. Analysing your water and whatever "red antifreeze" is, makes no sense financially. My advice? Just go outside and fly some pellets. That Yong Heng compressor isn't worth worrying about. It will fail due to a mechanical failure LONG before you corrode it to death. 😁

Can you make a video the build of your unit because I want to copy this style for mine
Please do a video on your hole set up and how it was built please
Check out episode 1, should have what your after.
Really glad I found this channel well done sir well done
Glad you enjoy it!
Hey man, just found your channel. I’m always looking to learn something about my favorite pastime, “ shooting stuff with my airguns.”
Hey there! Thank you for your comment! Have a look around and enjoy! Help us spread the word!

Really nice cooling setup for the yong heng. Why is it bad if you only use distilled water for cooling the yong heng compressor? What can happen?

Where did you get the frame for your setup?
I fabricated it Tim. Thank you for your comment!
my left ear appreciated this video
Yup, issue with the mics when this was recorded. All fixed now! I hope....
Is de-ionized water and distilled water the same thing.
Looking good 👍
Thanks for the visit
most cars on the track running distilled water :)
Yup, and it's a much better coolant! Except when it freezes...lol.
I use distilled water but would not use deionized water.
Nice!
👍
Thanks Carl!

whos is that piece of peng in the intro? hot
