Hey all,
Based on recommendations in my build thread, I decided to start a new thread of this.
This is what my coolant looked like when I just filled it:
And this is now, only three weeks later.
Before starting my build, I thoroughly cleaned out the radiators with boiling distilled water, rinsing and shaking the inside of each radiator 10 times.
Once I completed my build, I used the Sysprep solution included with the tubing to flush out the system, and perform my leak test as recommended by Primochill.
After this I drained my loop, filled it with plain distilled water and flushed it for a few hours to get the Sysprep out.
After draining again, I then mixed the concentrated EKoolant (one UV blue bottle, two clear bottles) to make 3L total of coolant, and filled my loop. Everything appears to be working great, but I am a little concerned that it already looks this cloudy after only 3 weeks of use.
Is this normal, or should I be concerned?
I have read that cloudiness is common due to plasticizer leeching from tubing, but I didn't expect it to happen so fast, and I was also under the impression that PrimoChills PrimoFlex Advanced LRT didn't suffer from this problem, at least not as much... it seems awfully soon for this type of issue...
