Three WC questions

1) How often do I need to flush my WC system?

2) Will I be able to visually see problems with the coolant quality prior to a serious problem with the fluid? (Like, should I be checking my system once a week for fluid discoloration?)

3) I have to mount my radiator horizontally on top of my case, making the radiator the highest thing in my system. Am I going to always have problems with air getting stuck in the radiator with this setup? Note: When I fill my system for the first time, I will move the radiator so that it is sitting lower than the reservoir. I will mount it on top after getting all the air out.

Thanks!

1) About every 4-8 months, or whenever you change your stuff around... whatever's first :)

2) Discoloration, clumping, gooping, white deposits, silky stringy stuff etc. Yes, I check daily. You should too. Just a quick glance through the tubing.

3) Just put a towel down, and flip your case upside down or place it on it's side. That way you can move the fillport around (if it's loose that is) and the rad will no longer be as high. You can move it around as you see fit. My Tline is at the very bottom and my rad is at the very top. I just turned it upside down and filled :)
 
Thanks, guys!

Hopefully, flushing my system will be a lot faster than the construction has been - My system has been down for 3 weeks while I've been building my WC solution. It's been frustrating ...
