It's not that good. It will probably run fine for a couple of days/weeks, but with the time the calc from the water will sediment in the tubing and the water won't be able to pass through anymore.

It is a very low calcium concentration but it will precipitate out of the water after a number of heating and cooling cycles from turning on the computer leaving a white residue or fog possibly, so it's best to replace it and flush the system with distilled as soon as you can.

thanks everyone, I cant flush it right now so I'll leave it not running. Two days should be fine right? Cant do it not until tuesday.

 

Bad custom loop build so far, I should read stuff more carefully next time.
