first how do I avoid corrosion 

second how do you flush a loop properly

third how often do you need to flush a loop

Do not mix metals that create an environment of galvanic corrosion.

Jayz has a solid video on this one.

It's recommended to do so every six months. I've done mine at 12 months for a number of years now without issue. Most AIO or closed loop coolers aren't intended to be user-serviceable.

What they mean by not mix metals,Copper and copper with nickel plating that most waterblocks are is fine.aluminum is the one you don't mix you go all aluminum or zero aluminum.That video shows how to flush a loop,On how often is hard to answer it could be 6 month to over a year.It depends a lot on your coolant and how hard its been used.
