White bits in fluid

I am using Mayhems Pastel red it's only around 3 weeks old, anyway I noticed these over the weekend in the reservior anyone have any ideas what they are?

Yeah I was using Mayhems UV Blue in the system when I first made the loop a few months back (rads were flushed at time of building) since then I switched to Pastel Red but I did flush the hole system with Di-ionised water before using the Pastel as recommended.

Edit - No there is no added Biocide in the system, as Pastel states it already contains it.

Thanks for the advice Oldphart I will try this, it's annoying as it's £30 worth of new fluid.

Stuie- If its plasticiser will it get worse then I guess? Is Plasticiser just scum that builds up from the tubes?

Starting to question if watercooling is worth it.

Very helpful

but no not on this occasion.

Would the Biocide that's in the pastel not be enough if it was bacteria of some sort?

So yours looked similar? I thought with Plasticiser I would have to replace the tubing and fluid, so with yours you let the loop run warm over night and the plasticiser broke down and didn't come back?
