I have some water that apparently has all the additives it needs. Would it be a bad idea to put a kill coil in the res anyways?
Is it a bad idea to put a kill coil in a loop with pre-additive water?

I personally don't see how it can hurt...

As long as you haven't got any Aluminium in your loop (you most likely won't have), it should be just fine.

Alright looking at it again though I think I should change the water. I think to make it easier I will just get an air cooler for a bit and change the water over time. I am planning on shrinking my rig and installing this cooling setup in someone elses PC anyways so yeah idk.
I am still confused about the flushing the stuff out with distilled water. how do you "flush" a loop without using the pump? On my other thread the dude never gave an answer other than "YOU FLUSH IT" like I probably sound really stupid and to be frank I don't really mind but how would I go about flushing a system with distilled water.

Basically use distilled water as coolant. you run the pump for a little bit, and then drain all the distilled water. Repeat.

OK if you would like a description, this was the first thing that popped up in a youtube search, I like his style, but with a little change:

This will work with a whole loop, not just a rad. Instead of putting a fishtank pump in the bucket, use a longer peice of hose and have your regular pump suck the water out of the bucket (remember to keep the bucket above the pump and to prime it so you don't kill it.)
Also if you cant get a filter, you don't want to recirculate the DISTILLED WATER (not tap water) and just let it run out into a drain in your sink or shower.
