How often do you *actually* drain your loop?

interested to see the discrepancy in people’s loop maintenance.

I’m planning to just used distilled water with a biocide, so no colours etc, hoping for as low maintenance as possible.

Longest ever for me was 2.5 years with de-ionised water and Primochill Liquid Utopia and only got drained then due to a platform change. Last year I drained down a loop that had been running Mayhems X1 red for 18 months and everything was as pristine as the day the loop was set up, not even any staining. Going to drain down again next week as I am moving my computer into the spare room and will have a even longer loop than I have now. The way I see it is, if it's all working fine with no build up of gunk or discolouration then leave it alone. Only Mayhems X1 is going in my loop as I have has no problems with it, it looks good and has all the additives you need for a loop.

I will look into the x1 in that case, sounds good!
