Storing radiator

Tackle_Berry · 31 Mar 2014 at 21:45

Hi,

I bought a rad to replace my Alphacool 360 XT45 so I am going to take it out and leave it in the loft for possible future builds.

What's the best way of storing it? I was just going to flush it with De-ionised and then leave the stop caps off to let it dry out and then put all the caps on and leave it. Or should I leave some de-ionised in there?

Wash it out and let it dry. Cover it up too.

Like other's said, flush it with DI, let it dry out.

DO NOT leave DI in the radiator as it will dissolve out the metal plating inside the radiator.

try to put it in a dry environment as well and reflush it once a while.
