Draining.

[Toxcity]

Right, How do I drain a whole loop?

I would expect the water to get stuck in the Rad.

I don't really wanna take the loop apart.. Anyone know any tricks?

[Ham]

What barbs you use?

compression barbs you dont have too drain the loop too take it out

but basicly, disconnect a pipe at the bottom (pump in?) of the loop OVER A BOWL and let it drain. Tip the pc/unmount the rad and tip too get the rest out.

[Toxcity]

So Basically.. I have to unmount the Rad?

More work!

Okay cool!

Ill get around to it laters.

Can I not just unmount the Res and tip from there?

[FarFarAway]

I'm to lazy to take off my RAD so I just leave it to drain for a couple of hours after givinh it a good shake

What Ham said.

I pull out the bay res, open, flip it 180 in a bowl and get as much out like that.

Then I always stretch the pump out of the case, put in in a bowl, twist until a barb comes loose and let it drain.

Tip the case back/forward and the water from the rad comes out.

I just noticed the crap algae killing stuff hasn't worked. My loop has developed algae in the res, pump, and cpu block. I can't see in the rad but I bet it's in there too. I just want to get all my parts in and that damn case polished so I can clean everything up and move into my new case.

When u drain from the lowest connection - would u turn the pump on to speed it up ?

Or is there no point, just let gravity do it ?

I wouldnt run the pump with the lines open as there is a danger of running it dry and that can ruin some bearings.

Like Ham said just flip the comp as needed to drain. (un plugged of course)

[Rastalovich]

Gotcha.

[Allsorts]

Ye I just let gravity do the work, it only takes seconds anyway. As everyone has said already, tilting the case should get the remainder of the water out.

[Toxcity]

How would I go about cleaning the insides?

Without take the whole loop to bits?

Thanks for the feedback so far guys!
