How to make WC refills????

CH@NO · Feb 19, 2009

Hi.

I dunno how much time the water from my WC kit lasts, CM says that longs 2 years, some ppl said that lasts 6 months......I just wanna be prepared when the water runs out.

I cannot buy it 'cause I don't find a reseller that sells it, so I googled and find that It can be done by ourselfes, but I dunno how.

can you adviceme me here please???

The system is sealed. The water doesn't run out unless you un-seal the system.

Yep, water doesn't run out because it's sealed. If you think the liquid gets hot over time, it doesn't cuz the rad fans cool it off. And if u haven't bought wc yet use distilled water, don't buy other WC cooling since it's just a waste of money.

CH@NO · Feb 19, 2009

so you're saying that the liquid doesn't have a "lifespan"????

yes, unless you have a leak. There could be some osmotic based evaporation, but that would take decades.

That is no problem sincce by the time half a decade is over, u'll be already buying new cooling.

Not necessarily. Any clear water cooling tubing is porous and a fairly significant amount of water can evaporate out.

I cannot remember if the Cooler Master kit your using has clear tubing where this would happen, or the black norprene, in which case it would not happen.

yup no need to worry it last and last and last just like the energizer bunny rabbit.If it bothers you though you could unscrew the rad and give it a shake and feel the liquid moving then your mind can have ever lasting piece.

I think that is a bit exaggerated.

For those running just distilled, and with a t-line, it can require topping off as often as bi-monthly.

Thanx, It's now clear enough for me, this is my first WC kit, so i'm just taking some knowledge.

I got my watercooling system up last night and I'm so happy! And water won't run out unless a leak occurs and/or you drain the system. I've leak tested and my system is fine. I know this if off topic but I wanted to say about my rig.
