Advice from aquariu use. Place EVERYTHING inside the tank if you can,
filters and all. Leaks then don't make a mess, broken hoses don't make a
mess. Of course, you can not place the spindle motor in the tank but
assuming the motor is the only thing not in the tank, there are only two

I've run these before. Just place a filter in the system. Whatever else
you do is secondary. Dirt, bugs spiders and whatever don't matter if
there is a filter. If you are not running a production shop that filter
will see only a few hours a week of use and last "forever".

I bet the coolant made for Toyota Prius engines and power inverters would be
ideal for a CNC spindle motor. It only comes as a premix, and is only available
from Zerex or Toyota. It's made with distilled and deionized water so it's
completely non-conductive.
What might be a strike against it is
Once biologics get into a system, clean out is the first step. However, no
amount of filtration can remove them all, if you don't kill all the
bacteria it will come back.
Just passing along what I learned from a Rustlick rep many years ago.

Not too bad a price once Amazon breaks up the 6 pack minimum. OTOH, it

I'd really recommend not using copper sulphate. It is corrosive to many metals
I'd really recommend not using copper sulphate. It is corrosive to many
metals, especially aluminium.
In my laser and tig welder I use 20 - 30% propylene glycol in
deionised/distilled water. Propylene glycol is the active ingredient in
most RV antifreeze, without the dye and other additives.

I would stick with water. it is cheap and has very high specific heat. It
is really hard to beat water.
I had a water cooling system used to cool the hot side of a thermoelectric
module. I used an old 50-gallon aquarium tank as the reservoir and for a
pump, I used an aquarium cartridge filter
I wonder if Miller Industrial Supreme antifreeze/coolant would work, stock
no 043 810. I use it in my TIG cooler. I bought the stuff from a local
welding supply store and filled the radiator tank about 8 years ago. I
never changed it (they recommend yearly). Your message prompted me to look

Cu inhibits algae and should do a decent job on most bacteria. So a bit
of Cu sulfate.
Zn chloride and or ferrous chloride inhibits moss but the ferrous
oxidizes to ferric and stains
siding/concrete so use the chloride. In a pinch just use a bit of
Clorox; even peroxide should do the job.

I think I would be tempted to try the waterless coolant that they sell
for cars, though that would depend on how much was needed. It's not
cheap.
