How often do you change your water and clean out your Rad etc ?

Lol it evapourates you must be running at 100 degrees+?

Water can evaporate at 1 deg C Dont need high temps for water to evaporate, just air that doesnt have very high humidity.

I went to great effort to build this, I even painted it black to match the case:

Oh, I see, you don't actually have a water-cooled PC, you just thought you'd have a bit of fun with us? What a wag. Ignored.

The last time I cleaned out my system it had been running for around 15 months and i used distilled vinegar and water to flush the the rad and also covered the blocks with ketchup to remove the tarnish.

My system has been running for about 20 months now and the cpu temps has remained the same-ish however my tubes are now stained yellow from the water wetter which is not really a problem. I opened the reservoir last week to top it up with some water and was surprised a lot of air escaped even though I was sure It bled it completely.

It is my setup. It has two loops, one for the blocks, one for the rad.
I couldn't care less how it looks, it keeps me under 55 when burn testing.

For info, it was the mouldy jacket comment that exposed the wind up. An unecessary embelishment to the story.
