I shared this on AskScience since I found some interesting science about water cooling and wanted to check the reactions. Thought it would be good to post here, hoping a few people with chemistry or physics knowledge will respond.

So I understand what you're asking. I've been using antifreeze and water wetting agent as a coolant for about 20 years, and I haven't experienced any corrosion in my loops. Right now, I mix 60% distilled water, 20% antifreeze, and 20% water wetting agent in all my builds. I've never seen algae or any other kind of growth in my systems. Hope this helps.
