PC watercooling questions

[Miiinkz]

I just recently have created a PC and i was wondering if i would need anti-corrosive and biocide in a loop, ive had my loop running with distilled water only for almost 1 month now should i be concerned? and another question came up while i was typing the original question. is there a reason why my loop started to cloud, is it possible to get a clear loop. 

Parts;

EK Clear Tube

EK MLC Pheonix

EK 1070ti Waterblock Acetal+Nickel

you can empty the loop and refill it with new water if you want.

You definitely need more than just distilled water.

Mixing anticorrosives and biocides yourself is not a good idea, so get a concentrate from ek or mayhems to add to your distilled water or use a premixed fluid.

I ran loops with just distilled water and a speck of silver with no issues really.

This. Adding some type of biocide and corrosion inhibitors is ALWAYS recommended. Not worth the risk to not use it IMO. I'd give everything a good cleanse as there could already be algae build up in hard to see places and then refill with something using additives. You can pick up some simple additive bottles to mix into the distilled water
