Hi,
i'm on the way to my first WC and i have two questions:
1) Bleeding: (i read last article by Rudy concerning the subject)
reservoir:
The solution in the reservoir will start to travel thru the tubes quickly. Just keep filling the reservoir until the system is almost completely full. If you're using a reservoir, the system will bleed the air for you in a few minutes, then fill up the reservoir to the top and voila, you're water cooling...well not yet. You want to leak test it for at least 24 hour.
1.a) Is it the time that does all the job? Nothing additional should be done?
T-line:
If you decided to use a T-line, You should fill the entire system with water as much as possible before you clamp the tubes - this way would be easier. Then make sure while you're filling/bleeding the system, that the T-line is at the highest point of the system to help the air leaving the tubes through the T-line.
One suggestion I can make is that if you use a T-line, submerge your system parts in a bucket of water as much as you can, then fill/bleed the rest of your system through your T-line.
1.b) I didn't exactly understand how the filling and bleeding of the system goes. If tubes will be clamped after system is full, won't the liquid go away through not-yet-clamped point?
Where is the point in the system in which i add the water? If it's the same T-line, then how do i bleed the system?
Safe liquid deduction:
2.a) How safely to remove the liquid from the system if no reservoir used? (is it to open the clamp in the T-line)
2.b) How safely to remove the liquid if there is reservoir, but the only openeings it has are in and out for connection to water tubes?
I guess the subject is simplier than i imagine it to be, because rare articles adress step-by-step bleeding and i found none that describe deducting the liquid, but your answers will be much appriciated.
