Deepcool CAPTAIN 360 AIO pump making grinding noises and how to refill the AIO.

So I have a Gamerstorm CAPTAIN 360 AIO CPU water cooler with the radiator mounted on the top of my case. It's been making weird grinding noises lately. Should I mount it on the front of the case and see if that works, or should I get some distilled water and fill the loop a little bit more than it is now with the current contents of the loop remaining inside? (I can only add distilled water because I don't have any anti-corrosive additives that I can use to refill the loop with completely.)

You shouldnt ever have to refill an AIO

The grinding noises is probably a signal that your pump is goofed somewhere, how are temperatures?

AIO is not designed to be user repairable. Is a closed system.

If there's still warranty, RMA.

Idle temp is irrelevant, you should measure the load temp.

anything over 90c is not good.

Nevermind, the grinding noises were from my fans and the temps were because I forgot to apply thermal paste. 27C idle and 39 on load
