tldr: Will it be a problem to fill my loop with X1 Clear when there is still some deionised water left in the loop from leak testing?

---

I have finished putting together my system and have arrived at the leak testing part. I plan to leak test with deionised water, drain the system, then add my X1 Clear.

When I drain my loop, I will end up with some water trapped between my GPU and front radiator - the rad is mounted with ports at the bottom. While I could (hopefully) get this out with some tilting, the system is so heavy I can barely lift it, let alone tilt it in every direction.

Would it be an issue to add the X1 Clear, with some (~200ml?) dionised water left in the loop?

I could buy and add some Mayhems Non Stain Dye to boost the biocides.

Thanks for the advice Mike.

Just use mayhems X1 concentrates.. It states on the bottle to mix 250ml of concentrate with 750ml of DI water.. in your case, perfect! you can always drain a little bit out the loop, then add the X1.

Yes, I did consider that! My system takes pretty much exactly 1L of fluid, so could just dump 250ml of concentrate straight in. I guess I could continue to use the DI water while waiting for delivery.
