Would an aluminum coil system with icewater running through it to cool a rez cause any problems in a DWC. Corrosion, or any specific problems anyone can think of. Peace

You always want to be careful stickig metal in your water.. it can totaly change your PPM.... there have been many horror stories of people using copper tubing.. and it totally contaminating the water and killing their plants...

At pH in the 5-6 range you're going to get tons of corrosion and Al in the water... welcome to the fun world of nutrient lockout...
Plastic tubing only!
