I'd been running my custom loop for maybe two weeks and earlier this week the flow suddenly stopped, and I shut off the machine. Since then I've been trying to figure out where the clog is and hopefully get the flow back up to where it was originally, but so far I've had no luck.
I started by removing my fluid flow meter and cleaning it up, then reconnecting the pump. That didn't do it. I then removed the fluid filter from the loop and connected a U pipe to bypass it. That didn't work either. That means the block could be one of the blocks, and I'm at a loss as to how to clear the pipes with minimal collateral damage.
What do other people do? I've read something about hydrogen peroxide, and also water with vinegar. My coolant is Feser One, but since my Reserators were both used, I figure there's quite a bit of gunk left in them. I'm not even sure how to clean the inside of the blocks, either.
