Its best to hot wire the PSU for draining or filling the system but there is a better way than that and risking braking you equipment.
You can get a 12 Volt Adapter (any type will do) and Just connect you pump upto that to get it to spin. Even a 9 Volt adapter will work to do this.
When refuilling you system and checking every thing is correct dont forget to try and run the system for a few hours to check for leaks. you never now.
Allso when refilling you may need to tip the pc back wards and farwards to get the air bubbles out of the system. You can then top up as you go along. It may take a little time for all bubbles to come out of the system but dont worry.

there are more good tips for you
after you have re topped up place paper towles (white ones) all over you PC at the joins leave it for 2 hours and if you come back and there is no drips (with the pumps running) you can see if any thing has leaked. this is were dyed water comes in hadny as you can see the leaks clearly.
Once thats is done and your air bubbles are clear then run you systems and keep a eye on your temps for the first 24 hours.
Any problmes just let us know and we will all try and help you

Your psu jumper will be fine, just make sure the motherboard and gpu power are not connected either and you will be fine dude.

Bit-tech did a test that showed nothing performs better than normal water. You would be better off getting liquid corrosion blocker and some primochill dye bombs.

like distilled water lol
Yeah but its still a pain - with all the dye bombs etc. It will come out to the same price as NCF or more. There isnt actually so much advantage using water - and that bit tech test was old but it did find that Feser One was better than water when their processor was idle.
Maybe im just lazy.

Well dye bomb + primo chill corrosion blocker+ 2 dollars worth of distilled water is like 8 bucks max. By the time I go online and buy up feser one (usually need two of them) and then shipping, I could be down 60 bucks easily.
