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?

    critical data centers use swamp coolers because they don’t have to treat the water or expose it to contamination from outside. they use straight domestic water… super cheap.

    if the conductivity gets too high, they dump the basin and fill with fresh… rinse and repeat.
