That cooler is a closed loop system, manufactured to be sealed forever. I don't think you will be able to change anything on it.

It doesn't have removable fittings or standard component sizes, so to open it up or replace parts might damage it.

Only some water coolers such as bequiet Silent Loop and Alphacool Eisbaer are made from standard components. Those can be refilled, expanded and have parts swapped.
 
It's possible but not advisable. These things as said above are not intended to be modified but it's been done.

Measure the existing tubing. If you're lucky it's something like 12mm/13mm/15mm. The idea here is that instead of removing all the tubing, you cut the tubing leaving 2cm on the existing fittings. You then put new tubing where the internal diameter of the new tubing matches the outside diameter of the old tubing and therefore the new tubing fits over the remaining 2cm of old tubing. You will then need to fit a clamp suitable for the outside diameter of the new tubing to hold the new tubing over the old tubing stub and onto the underlying fitting.

Your next problem is that now that you have opened the loop you have to get the new coolant inside. Easy way is to add a small reservoir somewhere in your system but it must be higher than the block/pump which may not be easy. Alternatively, you need to fill the loop outside of the computer by using a funnel to fill the tubing and then try to reconnect the open tube without spilling any. Like I said, not easy.

Look at this YouTube vid for details.
 
It's usually 12mm outer diameter
And 6mm inner diameter on most of those AIO
Unless higher quality ones like swiftech etc then it's 16mm/10mm
To refill them best way is jump starting it
NEVER jump start it with not enough liquid in it the pump MUST have liquid to lubricate it
Use a big plastic bowl or similar container or stuff gets wet lol
And to seal it up/attach last tube you do it under the liqiud/coolant in the bowl
Attach 1 pipe to pump and radiator other end and 1 pipe to only the pump
Best way~though a funnel may do~is use a large syringe to inject the coolant down the radiator barb that doesn't have pipe connected yet~syringe helps push the air out as fluid goes in
Once coolant starts coming out end of unattached pipe you know it's mainly full
That's when it's time to jump start the pump ~any nasty rattling turn it off
Shake/tilt/turn radiator about to make sure any air gets out in the end you should have a smooth steady flow of liquid
Once you have that submerge the end of radiator and pipe and put pipe on the submerged barb~do it under the liquid to keep air out

Not as complicated as it sounds
But still a lot of effort really

Pretty sure I missed something out as that was a long explanation probably something to do with keeping the end under the liquid so you are making a continuous flow so it doesn't empty out
And you need to work out which is pump inlet/outlet but that becomes pretty apparent when doing it
