Help Draining a fully custom waterloop

[Geraldino]

Alright so today i have a pc that has a fully custom waterloop and it doens't have a drain port. I have no idea on how to drain this thing. But i'm pretty certain it's gonna be messy. If you guys could give me some pointers on where to fit a drain port (so that i don't have to run into this problem again) would be very much appreciated  

And i also want to fully dissasemble the gpus and cpu block because they've been running on the same water for a year now and this pc once had some green stuff inside the blocks.

the drain port should be on the bottom most tube if posabe. if you can turn the case and make the drain port lower that could be a thing as well. and then you open a port at the highest point when darning. i never had hard tube so i dont no how its like to empty...

Without a specific drain tube the above is true - find lowest (make the port lowest) outlet, put towels in and around area to catch splash back, open port slowly, eventually a vacuum occurs and once you ready slowly undo a port at highest point to let air in - if you want a slow trickle out of the liquid, only slightly let air in.

Well i was thinking about opening the outlet of the pump to let the water drain out from there and maybe use a funnel to catch the water. I was also thinking about getting a T splitter to put on the outlet and add a drain port on one of the sides (after draining the loop ofc)

Ive personally never had a drain port, I just use gravity and angles - so far no components wet!

 

I have a loop I have to drain and I have been putting it off lol
