Liquid

[SmilesRising]

When i built my loop about a year ago i mixed some EK coolant and some distilled water in a bottle. i used some of the fluid for my loop but i still had a lot left in the bottle. Can i use whats still left in the bottle for another loop or has the liquid "gone bad"?

You might need to shake it a bit so stuff hasn't settled, but it's probably fine. Don't take my word for it, though.

I would throw it out and get some new fluid. I think they advise you toss out fluid after 12 to 18 months of shelf life.

If it is still clear with no stuff floating around and no bad smell it is probably perfectly alright. 

The Ek ethylen glycol stuff is pretty resilient if concentrated enough, rated for 2 years but it can

probably hold on longer.
