i've had my water cooling setup in my computer for about a year and a half now and i couldnt be happier with the results.
ive switched around a few parts here and there and typically change the coolant anywhere from every 1-3 months.
one annoying thing about switching the coolant is the draining of the current coolant in the system. i have been wondering if there are any products out there that can make draining the system something that can be done real quick instead of having to undo clamps and tubes and risking making a mess.
right now my reservoir (swiftech micro-res) sits at the top of my loops in a cooler master cosmos case. im thinking i could probably put a t-line at the very bottom of the loop to make draining it a bit easy. any ideas or setups that anyone else uses here that make draining a much quick process?
also, while im draining getting all the coolant out of the radiator usually means disconnecting the radiator and emptying it out. so is there a decent method to when draining the loop i could say force some distilled water through the loop to empty out the radiator without really risking any damage to my pump if i were to accidentally run the pump while it was dry?
basically im looking for any good methods anyone might have that make draining the loop a much quicker process, cleaning the loop with distilled water a simple process of just running it through the loop, and refilling the loop with coolant something that can be done real quick. i figure theres got to be some sort of reservoir that can be used to do this, or t-line setup.
