Changing out coolant/tubing every 6 months or so, I check mine once a week or so to monitor the coolant levels and whatnot, but there's very little maintenance if you get it set up right.
I have tygon tubing, ran it for 2 years straight, nothing evaporated, never had to add water, water level might have dropped but I never seen the differences. Mastercleer, on the other hand, is cheap for a reason, every couple of weeks it lose an ounce or 2 of water...
Yep, the tubing is a tiny bit porous and the water permeates through the tube and evaporates into the air.
Least thats my best guess based on specs for tubing and the fact that the other parts are copper or much denser plastic. I noticed that a really good spec sheet will give a value for the porosity of the tubing..
How does this differ between different types of tubing? Are some better than others?
I use masterklear and i dont recall having to ever add water to the loops. But then again i tend to drain it and screw around with something every month or 2 because i'm constantly tinkering with it.
Huh, I've never had an issue with either. Any other reports of this?
