Raijintek Resevoir

jaffveyda · 27 Dec 2016 at 11:23

Hi guys i just noticed today that some of the part of Raijontek reservoir is rusting which causes all the tubing to go moldy and they have lost clean look.
I took a picture, never had a problem like this with any other reservoirs.
I am using clear distilled water. Is there any way of removing the residue?
Is that a quality issue?

You're not going to remove that unless you take it apart or perhaps use something like the Mayhems Blitz kit... part 2 is for flushing your system.

Rajintek seem to have become the go-to brand for watercooling atrocities however, especially with the complete joke that is the Triton AIO... I think OCUK stopped selling it. I'd be more inclined to buy watercooling parts from Lidl (if they sold them).

I dont know whats the warranty of those, probably non existant.
Shame I had that only for couple of months, EK lasted couple of years.

Wow, is there no end to their watercooling crappiness? That will end up getting into everything which will require a complete strip down, blocks and all. The tubing is probably better off being replaced and I would throw anything Raijintek in the bin and buy from a reputable brand instead. You need to use a biocide/corrosion inhibiter in your water as well.

Lol they should give up at watercooling.

Just checked the tubing they are all orange same with the blocks both for graphic card and processor. They should not sell something crap like that, it all cost money and time.

I have the same res and use EK Clear fluid and have no discolouring. Don't think the fluid has been changed in around 9 months. All EK fittings, CPU Block and EK blue tubing, XSPC rad EVGA Hydro Classified 780 block.

I'd say that's due to distilled water going off over time not particularly the res itself.
