Replacing coolant

[Livesundersink]

I am in the process of putting a new build together, this build will include a custom watercooling loop, i have seen in a number of posts that i should replace the coolant at regular intervals, i was wondering how often these intervals should be

Usually I see recommendations to clean out a custom loop every 6 months or so.

can you link me to a tutorial or guide on how to drain the system properly?

largely depends on the coolant you use. Every year would be very safe for rhe modern non-opaque coolant like EK cryofuel, they can probably even go longer.

Depends on the coolant and the tubes!

E.g. clear coolant and EK ZMT didn't need any replacement in my loop since 2 years.
