Title: Compressor Cooling Water
Post by: watersteps on December 16, 2021, 03:41:54 AM
Does anyone add anything to their compressor's cooling water so it does not get slimly.

Yes! I used to own an Omega Air-Charger, and they used some sort of "Blue" liquid, but I don't remember the actual name. Steve (steveoh) owns that compressor now, and if he reads this he can look up the product in the manual. I looked on line, but couldn't find it.

One more thing. They tell (Omega) tells you to use de-ionized water, but I used distilled as it is somewhat purer, and won't have any other chemicals except H2O. City water isn't safe in these cases.

Thanks Alan, I have distilled water in it now, I will wait until your friend finds out what the blue stuff is.

Was like pulling hen's teeth finding my manual. I obviously put it in a safe place.

:'(

The manual states they ship with Royal Purple Radiator Coolant.
