do you think it would be safe to use this on my DS system , for an added effect to my liquid cooling ?

Warranty wise I'd get a ruling from DS before using /adding anything.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

why don't you use the same coolant as they use but a different model

always call and ask to make sure your warranty is ok like FT said

you are looking at the big sizes I think, all you need is one of those $29 bottles to just top off if needed.

No problem.
 
If your pump dies, and we notice the liquid is a totally different color, you would need to buy a new one Disapprove.
 
Warm Regards,
Alex

how much does a pump cost ??, and DST . the product i'm looking at is a dye. meaning all i have to do is drop 1 or 2 drops into my coolant and im ready to go. the fluid xp , in order to get that UV effect needs to be completely replaced. im just looking for an easy alternative

I just thought that the dye would ruin your warranty but the actual fluid change might not, but I understand where you are coming from

if you know how to change it, then its not much, but if you have to send it to DS then think about shipping fees, labor fees, new liquid fees, etc.

pumps run about around $70 bucks I think.
