Protect and Maintain Water-Cooled Welding Systems
Using the right coolant keeps your torch running cool, protects your pump, and extends equipment life. Bad coolant leads to overheating, buildup, and failure over time.
What to Use
- Propylene Glycol – Best for most welding setups (safe, reliable)
- Ethylene Glycol – Higher cooling, but more toxic (sealed systems only)
- Arc-Zone pick: Propylene glycol for most applications.
Mix & Water
- Run 25%–40% glycol + distilled water
- Never use tap or hose water
Avoid These Mistakes
Running straight water. Using automotive antifreeze. Mixing with tap water. Not changing coolant
Maintenance
Check weekly. Flush every 6–12 months. Replace annually
Warning Signs
Hot torch. Loud pump. Dirty coolant
Run clean coolant. Run it right.
