A sealed 1-liter bottle of Corsair's pre-mixed, biocide-treated performance coolant in red — no mixing, no guesswork, just pour and fill.
🎯 Best Use Cases
- Filling a new custom water cooling loop for the first time.
- Topping off coolant lost to evaporation over time.
- Full coolant changes during routine loop maintenance.
- Matching a red color theme across a custom-built PC.
- Avoiding the risk of mixing your own coolant incorrectly (wrong ratios, incompatible additives).
💰 Why This Is a Good Deal
Pre-mixed performance coolant like this typically retails around $18-22 USD (roughly $28-32 CAD) per liter new. At $35 CAD, factory sealed, this is close to typical new pricing with the benefit of buying in Canada without cross-border shipping on a liquid product (which many retailers restrict or charge extra for).
Pre-mixed coolant also removes the guesswork and risk of DIY-mixing your own additive/water blend, which can cause corrosion or biological growth if done wrong.

Do I need to dilute this coolant before use?
No, it's pre-mixed and ready to pour directly into your loop.
How often should coolant be changed?
Most manufacturers recommend changing custom loop coolant roughly once a year to maintain performance and prevent buildup, though this varies by loop and usage.
Will red coolant stain my tubing over time?
Colored coolants can gradually tint clear soft tubing over months of use, which is a common cosmetic consideration — hardline tubing and PETG are generally more resistant to staining than soft PVC tube.
