    Can you run straight water in Heat Exchanger

    The title says it all. Finishing new H/E and res. install and wondered if I can run straight water instead of 50/50 mix. Thanks.

    Thanks Mike. I figured it would be OK, but didn't want to screw anything up though.

    Add some corrosion inhibitor like RMI25 or Water Wetter if you plan on going water only. Any of course like Mike said use AF mixed 50-50 in the colder months.

    Additives will help the water transfer the heat better, and keep it from freezing.
