When should u change your loops liquid?

[Dashock]

Have been using Swiftech's liquid with distilled water now since last July i believe. How often should i be changing the water? Cheers.

I change mine every 4 months, Needed or Not.

In the pre mixed set-ups, I think your safe for 6 months plus, Just keep an eye out for gunk in the lines and Res.


Distilled Water and PT nuke, Very easy to work with.

I change between 6 and 9 months. If I change color or brand I disassemble loop completely if I use same coolant mix I just give loop double or triple rinse with distilled water.

6 to 9 months for me too.

is it a good idea to trim the water lines at the same time?

[Dazmode]

What do you mean?

[gingerbee]

if you mean replace, well i use thick wall tubing so i normally change it once a year but it's really up to you

Well I find my PC doesn't stay on the same components for longer than 6 months

So it gets drained often enough.

If you're talking about trimming the imprinted ends off the tubing, that's a judgment call. If I have tubing length to spare, I usually will, since I have a gut feeling that the clamping isn't as tight the second time around. But I very much doubt that it's necessary, as long as you go through the standard leak-testing after re-assembling everything.
