Re-building my loop

[Kavalree]

So, I am finally re-doing my loop. I have been using some green UV liquid that is about 8months old now. What is the best way to flush all this from the blocks and res?

I also purchased a silver coil from competitor removed. Where do I put this in my loop, and will it work fine with de-ionised water from tesco?

 

[Kavalree]

Yeah, but they're different. I'd always go for distilled over deionised.

Oh....I dont have the cash to get more water, I bought a nice 3L bottle of de-ionised from tesco. How long will it last?

 

[Kavalree]

I'm not saying deionised won't do the job, it will do the job fine . But surely you do have the cash? If you've got a watercooling setup, you can easily part with £3.

I spent it all over the weekend, off sick so needed supplies, lol

So, It's done

Sorry about crappy pic, all my BB is capable of, sorry.

What he ^^ said. Been using deionized with a kill coil for a little while now.

As for the amount, I use around 1.5L to fill a loop containing:

-PA120.4
-1 full cover GPU block
-1 CPU block
-1 HDD block
-1 reservoir (XSPC DDC one)
-Plenty of tubing due to size and spacing of case and components

So, yeah, 3L will be fine.

EDIT: Oh you've filled already - well done! Just make sure you've got a kill coil or something like PT-Nuke in there (or both!)

Got a silver coil in there, does it have to stay in a coil shape though?
