Radiator Coolant Water VS Water from Air Conditioner

Radiator Coolant Water VS Water from Air Conditioner

A simple committed by one member of the forum proved that conditioned water (what else tap water) is not good for a car radiator because it is corrosive than the radiator coolant. If allowed prolonged the inside radiator rust-eaten will thin out and could potentially leak. Here's the test.
Two different one container filled with water and one with AC Radiator Coolant (brand not specified). Then in the second container is inserted tacks until completely submerged and left for one week.

Corrosive effect on the first day of the two liquids:
On the second day of a metal material added by inserting a rusty nail in each fluid.

Corrosive effect on the end of the test:
On the second day of a metal material added by inserting a rusty nail in each fluid.

Corrosive effect on the end of the test:
Test results showed that the radiator coolant is effectively maintaining the condition of the metal as a deterrent in terms of corrosion (rust). AC receptacles containing water looks very cloudy and there are deposits of metal corrosion, while the container containing the coolant radiator is relatively unchanged, only slightly changed color but is not muddy and there are deposits of rust.
