Due to a probable incompatibility with some PC liquid cooling solutions and some of the materials used in the cooling loop, we recommend to use distilled water only.
Available in various grades:
Norm | Description | Recommendation |
DIN 13060, DIN 43530 & EN 285 | Distilled water. | Recommended for long-term use. |
VDE 0510 | Is often advertised as “distilled”, but in reality it might only be “demineralised” and thus not as pure as true, distilled water. | Not recommended for long-term use. |
(not specified) | Some products may be advertised as “distilled” but not include any norm declaration. | Not recommended for long-term use. |
You should be able to buy distilled water of various grades in these places:
If you can not find the recommended norm product, it is OK to use a lesser grade for a while. You can soon replace it by a product sourced online for long-term usage.
This is a list of online shops selling true, distilled water under the norm DIN 13060, DIN 43530 & EN 285.

Due to a known incompatibility between some PC cooling fluids and the PC/ABS plastic connectors used in XMG OASIS (Mk. 1, Rev. 1), we expressly advise against using PC cooling fluids with anti-corrosion, anti-freezing or other additives.
In a new revision (Mk. 1, Rev. 2) these PC/ABS components have been replaced by components made of POM (polyoxymethylene). These components are resistant to the usual additives in cooling liquids. Nevertheless, we still advise against using coolants with additives for the following reasons:
1) According to some reports, cooling solutions with aggressive additives have been able to corrode the copper heatpipe in the laptop.
2) We can not guarantee for all kinds of liquid cooling solutions in the markets as they may have unknown additives that may have unknown side effects on the various materials in the cooling loop.
3) Even aside from defects or wear, liquid can occasionally leak out, which means that corresponding additives/chemicals can come into contact with the skin, desk or utensils. Common PC cooling liquids are not acutely harmful to health if they come into contact with the skin, but they should not get into the eyes, for example. A safety data sheet of EK CryoFuel with a list of the additives contained and safety instructions can be found here. Other PC cooling liquids have similar recipes.
Liquid may escape in droplets when disconnecting the hoses from the laptop. Larger amounts may also leak if the screw caps on the front of the XMG OASIS cooling unit are not fully screwed down.
