If you've been running a year, it must be time to replace the coolant? Is it yearly you're supposed to do that?

hmmm, i suppose your right, need to replace the pump and lop some out of my loop too. by the way, hows your Samsung 22" 225BW ? I`ve found one for £209 im gonna buy tomorrow

Works perfectly for me. I've had mine about a year and a half now and no complaints. I bought mine when widescreen had only really just come in so it was about £300. I'm sure you can get the more upto date model for cheaper is you shop around.

I would have though that one was better.

I don't think you need to replace it every year, I think thats just manufacturers trying to rake in more money selling coolant

But depending on the kit your using, water will slowly evaporate away. Not sure how much life the pumps have though.

depends on what coolant you use though if its water and dye it does need to be done more times as the dye does bung up the insides of your loop
