Hi All,
Just got a few questions relating to water cooling teardowns/rebuilds for maintenance purposes;
How far should I go? How can I tell how far I should go?
What I mean by this is, I could replace the hose, open the blocks and clean with a distilled solution, give the rads a good clean out, put everything back together (with new O-rings), then re mount everything and commence refill/bleed. Or, I could simply empty the loop, change the tubes, clean the fins on the rads, refill/bleed and call it a day.
Should I (ever) consider re-using the fluid which i've just pulled out of the system prior to said maintenance? I mean, it's not going to be growing anything in it (distilled water + anti corrosive + anti microbial agent), and it will already be primed for use within the system...
Regards,
