Just completed my first custom water loop & pressure test, all good so far, however, need advice on coolant. No dye's necessary, don't want to gum up my components. I want clear coolant, too many choices & not enough experience on my end, want one that's the best for least amount of maintenance.

I went with all Alphacool products:
Pump/Reservoir - Alphacool Rise Flat Reservoir D5 which is a transparent reservoir
Radiator - Full copper 280mm ST30
Water Block - Chrome Eisblock water block (Silver & Black) not transparent
Connectors/Fittings - Eiszapfen fitting/connectors
Tubing - Soft solid black

I have been made aware that some solutions can cause issues & want to avoid them at all costs, hence needing help.

All help/info greatly appreciated, thanks for reading...jp
