water cooling, flushing loop

[FeotalMutilation]

Hey guys, I have everything set up, but needs to be cleaned out. is it all good to put 25% white vinegar and 75% distilled water IN my loop and run it a few times?

Do you have so much dirt in there?

 

Vinegar is something that should be used very carefully, but if you go with the estimated ratio of 1/4 vinegar and 3/4 water you should be fine though .

 

I guess you are not taking apart the loop right? If you do take the vinegar/water combo and give it some temp in the micro wave.

if you can get the loop out of your computer just take it in the bath tub or shower and give it a good ol flushing

Do I have to? Really can't be bothered

It´s better to do that but not a must have. If you have a clean built or it would be a hustle to get the parts out just run the vinegar/water combo. But don´t run this for too long and you will probably have to flush this afterwards 2-3 times with distilled water.

Uhm out of topic question. What's the purpose of vinegar in a closed loop?

Never heard of vinegar in a closed loop.......It is used to flush/clean in custom loops though.

Closed loops are not cleaned. They are sealed at the manufacturer. I suppose you could open it but there would be no point.
