When to change water?

Finners · 4 Nov 2013 at 14:28

Built my first Watercooling loop about 13 months ago now but still haven't changed the water. Is it time?

Only running distilled water with pt nuke temps are as good as they were on day 1 and there is no sign on any nasties in my res.

Do I bother to strip it all down and clean it or am I ok to keep going as i am?

Hi, l used EC6 pre-mix for 2 years it was still as clear as the day l filled the loop with the odd top up, temps never changed no signs of corusion.

Flush everything out with warm water you could add a touch of clear distilled vinegar to help with cleaning plus it helps to kill nasty's. Them give everything a good flush out again with just warm water, final flush with distilled water.

Yes l would change the tubing personally for what it costs.

Where does one go to acquire distilled vinegar?

I've had mine going for around the same time now and i've decided that its better to leave well alone.

Nothings growing inside it and its as clear as day 1 and performing perfectly.
