Hi,

I am newby and havent even bought any kit yet for the moment. Was wondering how frequent should we change the water? Or perhaps maybe any specific signs that we should be kept aware of?

a res should be flushed about every 2-3months with hydrogen peroxide to kill off all the nasties, and rinsed through with distilled water.

the fluid (coolant) should be changed about every 6months

when draining the coolant, use a coffee filter to get all the bits out, before re-using it

Wow, immediate response. Thanks for the advice. Btw, any idea whether specialtechs do postage overseas as well? I'm in Malaysia and never yet found their products here.
