I changed a fitting on my res earlier and noticed corrosion on the fitting i was replacing as well as loads of junk in the tubing and and water i drained.
Theres no aluminum parts in my loop ,all copper/brass/nickel plated brass , im using deionised water (halfords stuff) and 2-3 drops of biocide.
Im thinking its most likely the nickel plating on the fittings (EK compression fittings) from googling the problem since the cheapo 45° fittings i have seem to be fine ?
Will it affect the other components , i.e cpu and gpu blocks ?
Gonna be a couple of weeks before i can get new fittings
