OVERVIEW

Keep Your Torch Cool and Your System Safe

Don't let overheating or freezing ruin your expensive water-cooled gear. Bernard COOL1 is the industry-standard coolant for keeping your TIG and MIG setups running at peak performance. Whether you are pushing high amps on aluminum or running long duty cycles in a fabrication shop, your water cooler is the heart of your thermal management system. Using the right fluid is just as important as using the right wire or tungsten.

Why not just use water or car antifreeze? Regular water can grow algae that clogs your lines, and tap water contains minerals that build up scale inside your torch head, eventually killing it. Automotive antifreeze often contains conductive additives that can mess with your TIG high-frequency start and damage pump seals. Bernard COOL1 is formulated specifically for welders. It stops algae, lubricates your pump to keep it quiet and efficient, and won't conduct electricity where it shouldn't.

This 1-gallon jug comes ready to pour—no measuring or mixing required. It protects your equipment from freezing temperatures down to -37°F, so you don't have to worry about cracked lines or busted pumps if the shop gets cold overnight. Switch to COOL1 to ensure consistent coolant flow, cooler torch handles, and longer consumable life.

FAQ

No, COOL1 is a pre-mixed, ready-to-use formula. Diluting it with water will reduce its freeze protection, lubrication properties, and anti-algae capabilities.

Bernard COOL1 protects systems from freezing down to approximately -37°F (-38°C).

It is not recommended. Automotive antifreeze often contains stop-leak additives and silicates that can damage welding pump seals and clog small torch passages. It is also conductive, which can cause issues with High-Frequency TIG starting.

It is generally recommended to flush and replace the coolant in your welding system once a year to ensure optimal pump lubrication and algae prevention.

No, COOL1 is a low-conductivity fluid designed to prevent electrical leakage, which is critical for the safety and performance of TIG and plasma systems.

Yes, it contains additives specifically designed to inhibit the growth of algae and bacteria inside the coolant lines and tank.

COOL1 is compatible with most major brands of welding water coolers, including Bernard, Miller, Lincoln Electric, Dynaflux, and Binzel systems.

The fluid is typically clear or has a very light tint, distinguishing it from darker automotive coolants.
