What maintenance is required?

Hi all!

I purchased this system around 14 months ago.

it’s fantastic and I love the water cooled system.

What I want to know is there anything I need to be aware of in regard to a water cooled system? I keep looking at the water flowing through and it looks ok.

Do I need to change the water at any point? Or be aware of any potential issues that may occur?

any help or advice would be great.

I would assume so somewhere.
I am guessing it’s as simple as draining the liquid, flushing it out, then topping it back up again with the correct substance?

The whole system changes colour.
The liquid is pretty clear.

I will dig out my order history to clarify if they put some form of dye in.

That’s why I am asking for advice

Spoke to OC this morning and they advised that the coolant should be changed every 2 years.

He also provided me with some good basic advice and pointers. I said I would ring back in 10 months for further guidance but It didn’t sound too complicated in regard to emptying via the reservoir.
