Martin (skineelabs) had a loop upward for 22+months with no changes.
With distilled and a kill gyre, in one case a year would be sufficient....maybe even longer than a year.

Martin kept his loop for two years and opened it to find that his loop is notwithstanding looking like make new. It really depends on how you experience like information technology. Information technology should not accept a trouble unless yous run across a temp increase or you using dyes. What you need to clean is the dust on the radiators.

No demand for both. Kill coil is plenty.

Pics of the system from this thread:
I would just clean a loop if;
1. Performance dropped off
two. Stuff in the res
3. I was bored

Are you talking about dust? A can of compressed air volition do the play a trick on there. If yous tin can get to ane side of your rad and then there is no need to take things apart either, bonus.
If you mean buildup inside the rad, from any premix coolant or dyes, then hot water and vinegar rinsing is the way to become:
Fill the rad with a rough ane:10 mix of white vinegar and hot h2o
Plug the ports and milkshake (concord with a dishcloth)
Empty in to a bowl
If there is stuff in the liquid, repeat
Once the liquid comes out articulate, rinse a few times with distilled
Bold that y'all run distilled and biocide (killcoil) then you should not take to do this.

Some people have claimed that copper blocks will oxidize inside subsequently a while, but I've never had this happen. Is at that place any truth to this?

I know this happens (and it happened to me as well) when y'all take aluminium in your loop with copper, and and then you get galvanic corrosion.
Other than that you might get some problems from using tap water; diverse chemicals used to treat the water, like chlorine, might cause corrosion.
De-ionised h2o will also repossess ions from the copper, but this is so tiny that it should not take a noticeable effect unless y'all are constantly refilling your loop with information technology over a long period of fourth dimension.

So - I take been running my loop for about 15 months without a change of h2o. I havent used my PC as much since I added h20. My res just looks a fleck bubbly/foggy but no discoloration of any sort.
Are there whatever sure signs that yous should make clean the loop? I've ran only distilled h2o + pt nuke.

Yep - performance drop off.
If information technology is still performing well, and you are not bored, leave it be.

Yeah performance will tell yous if you demand to make clean it , residue in your res that y'all can see , e'er ALWAYS use distilled water ( if your running h2o as opposed to coolant of grade ) tap water destroys systems slowly from the within , but with a killcoil and distilled water only continue an heart on the res to make certain its total and articulate and then your load temps , should never really modify drastically so if they practise investigate, its actually depression maintenance I dont know why people are afraid. Unless you the states UV reactive dyes and coolant then theres nothing there to get dirty . Grit off fans and rads as often every bit you come across fit.
