With my Lincoln 300/300 there's no problem with the noise of my TIG cooler. When the welder is on it's like being next to a jet engine. I have an old (1980's) Bernard cooler and it serves me well. Goes on when the welder goes on. My old cooler hooks up just like this too. Thanks for the video.
My job is to repair welding machines and equipment. The number of times I've seen water cooled gear come in for repair that's had green car engine coolant in it...9 times out of 10 the water pump is completely seized, lines in the torch lead blocked, torch head gunked up with crystallized green stuff. Definitely use the correct coolant.
Crazy timing Jody, I just ordered this exact cooler the same day you uploaded this(2 days ago). I called primeweld and this water cooler is compatible with their new tig325 machine aswell
With the anti-freeze, one of the reasons that the specified coolant be used is that some will react with common metals and alloys, and to avoid problems with warranties, etc, it's safer and easier for them to tell you what to use. Another reason is that different coolants have different service lives - some may have a recommendation of replacement every three years, others may be every five, a select few may be every ten years - the old 'lifetime' stuff seems to have gone by-the-by, probably because of 'nasty' chemicals that were used back in the day.
At what sustained amps level/s do coolers become a necessity? I understand time = heat, but also that we're limited on time by the duty cycle of the welder when running big numbers. I've got a 325 and accessories on the way and I'm debating adding a plasma cutter or a cooler. The plasma cutter will likely be more valuable to me at this point but also I'm considering a cooler so I can run a #20 torch, but then a #9 may be sufficient for my applications.
I "inherited" a TIG water cooler at a local college that was filled with "alien green bacterial slime" because the coolant was not the recommended one. Took a whole day to clean it. One of the most disgusting things I have ever seen. Your advice to use the recommended coolant is spot on.
Hi Jody, love your content, I have been watching you for years and have learned alot from your videos. Is it possible to configure a set up where this water cooler is compatible with a Lincoln squarewave 200? Thanks
@weldingtipsandtricks quick question on the Primeweld TIG, when welding AC how is it with RF noise/interference while welding? I bought a Syncrowave 200 back in 2010 and when welding AC it generates a terrible amount of RF noise causing all kinds of issues with electronics etc. I use it in our attached garage mainly so the noise it generates is a pain. Wasn't sure if the Inverter based machines had the same issues.
I know this is off topic for this video but I have been looking for a professional opinion on the best way to secure the mild steel oil pick up screen tube to the cast iron oil pump. I would love to see a tutorial on this process done correctly. Thanks
@@om617yota8 Yes, I'm one of them. Thing is, as RPM's and horsepower and cost increase, so do pump failures. Seen way too many break off the tacks or the tube if you weld it all the way. The billet pumps are the way to go but $$$$$$. On my moderate builds I just want a little more insurance in the form of a professional welders opinion.
Is there a way to adapt a MIG/MAG motor unit to an AC/DC tig/stick welder? I have the previous model of that Primeweld 225 AC/DC and would like to add a wire feed capability without having to buy the electronics again. Just seems logical to me.
Hi Jody, do you think having a water cooler will allow me to run in the upper limit of my 200A machine more comfortably? Things gets get hot quick on Ally over 150A with my small torch.
Hey Jody, thanks for helping me change careers and change my life by learning how to weld. I absolutely could not have done it without you.

Ralph Watten how do you like your idealarc tig 300 I just pick one up a couple months ago but I had to put it in storage

Thanks for sharing with us Jody.

Excellent timing! My cooler should be arriving today!
Bom dia. Sou o nairo, sou do Brasil. Vocês sabem me dizer, se a everlast, vende para o Brasil? E como fazer para pagar, e receber a máquina aqui?
@Nairo luiz not sure if they do.
@@nikc5758 obrigado!

Hi Jody, your video is great, it gives me a lot of knowledge, in Vietnam we don't have this method of cooling.

please show a video about manual laser welding

I really want to know what is your video shooting device? Your videos are so clear in the dark!!!
Hi Jordy
Could you please tell me what is
Base metal for aluminum and filer rod
Thanks

I would braze or solder it depending how fine the screw was and how much heat it can take. Just my opinion which ain’t worth much.
Small block Chevy folks have been tack welding oil pickups for decades.

@@bcbloc02 Actually, brazing is probably one of the best options for me right now, cast iron doesn't like to be welded much.
@@MudtoyTT Got you, way ahead of me. Best of luck with your builds, sounds fun.
Is it possible for you to do a review on a eastwood mp acdc mig tig and stick
So diluting the antifreeze with a gallon of water what temperature is that protect down too?
I guess that depends on the type coolant. Some anti freeze brands have charts or info on temp ratings .
Is there a way to convert a gas through dinse connector to water cooled?
Nice flow!!!

Nope, different proces.
Tig is constant current,MIG is constant voltage.

You can max out your machine all day long with a water cooled torch.
100% but you just have to figure out if it’s worth the money
Will this cooler work with an everlasting 200dv plug says 220 but the cooler on your website says 115v?
Do you know any company that makes a wireless foot pedal for the prime rig welder?
