Does it matter if you pour glass water into the antifreeze pot? How to make up for it?

In fact, many car owners do not have the idea of changing the coolant regularly, and even some car owners mistakenly use glass water or tap water as coolant, which is easy to cause corrosion or scaling of the water tank. If it is only scale, the original heat dissipation efficiency can be basically restored by cleaning, but if it is rust and needs to be replaced by a mechanic, then don't spend a lot of money to save a little money. In addition to scale, the other is that the surface of the water tank has been covered with dirt, so the heat dissipation efficiency will also be affected.

Let's look at the troublesome internal blockage. There are probably two ways to remove internal scale. One is to take the water tank apart and clean it. Of course, at present, the price of a water tank in the auxiliary factory may be less than half of that of the original factory. It is faster for everyone to change it directly, and the other is to add detergent to clean it. Basically, the use of this cleaner is quite simple, just add it to the water tank. Let the engine run 10-20 minutes, and then completely discharge it. However, depending on the product concentration, some products should be added in the presence of cooling liquid, while others can be poured directly in large capacity. Basically, the products of big brands will not hurt the internal rubber material, so you can use them with confidence.

▲ Many people put glass water or even tap water into the water tank when they are not in the room. Some impurities and minerals will make the water tank rust, and the water tank will turn over directly after a long time.

The result of adding glass water to the cooling water tank by mistake may produce white crystals, which will block the warm air box and cause the warm air not to be hot. The function of water tank cleaning agent is to remove the scale, stain and rust in the cooling system, improve the heat dissipation effect, restore the function of the cooling system and prolong the service life of the automobile water tank.

▲ This is a common scale. This kind of thing is like a clot in a blood vessel. Once blocked, the cooling efficiency will be greatly weakened.

Many car owners know little about water tank cleaners because they are not used in general. Whether it is concentrated or mixed with a good proportion of products, just add water tank cleaner after turning off the engine and start the engine to run at idle speed 10- 15 minutes. Turn off the engine, drain the sewage from the water tank, and then clean the water tank with clean water.

External cleaning is to be careful not to spray directly with a high-pressure water gun, which will damage the cold row but not worth the candle. The most correct way is to remove the water tank and clean up the dirt in the gap with a small brush and a high-pressure air gun, but the process is actually very complicated. If your water tank is not a high-grade modified aluminum alloy water tank, it is basically recommended to buy a deputy factory water tank and replace it!
