    Water chiller - Tap Water vs Coolant Mix vs All Coolant

    Hi guys,

    I just received my Chinese 80w laser with a cw5000 water chiller.

    The normal practice I found is to use distilled water but I can't get this in my country. Even if I find a seller, chances are its fake (just tap water)

    Should I use just tap water with a vehicle coolant (pink)?

    Or can I just use pure vehicle coolant (the pink one) will this work better?

    I'm particularly worried about rust which I read is an issue with these cw5000.
    Is there anything to consider with using pure coolant and should it be the pink or blue one?
    Thanks guys
