Hi, I’m building a homelab watercooled unix server. I don’t want to buy expensive overpriced pre-mixes from ekwb or aquatuning. What cooling solution do datacenters use for water cooling?
What is the chemical solution? Does anyone know?

In ours, the coolant is referred to as “PG25” (distilled water with 25% propylene glycol, plus corrosion inhibitors and other additives). It’s widely available, and pre-mixed so it just gets poured straight in.
Your problem is going to be quantity. it might be cheaper per unit, but buying less than a 200 litre drum (if not a 1000 litre IBC) will prove to be a challenge.
I’d suggest a rethink, honestly.
