just pour it in and we will see if it's enough or not. Make sure it's distilled water though.

Most likely. All depends though.

Buy more water than you think you'll need. You may need to refill or you might have underestimated the amount you thought you would need.

Thats exactly why I ask... I have no prob buying 15 gallons of water, but if my system is going to need more than 1 liter then I'm going need to buy another bottle of HydrX before I do this.gungeek said:The corrosion inhibiter should be mixed with it first. If you have a T-line system, a quart (liter, whatever) should be enough. A res system will take more.

How big is your radiator? I used 1.8L with my dual bay res and 2x120mm heatercore and a couple extra feet of tubing. You might be able to get by with 1L, but if you have 1.2L when you're done it's no big deal. You don't have to buy another bottle of Hydrx. The ratio doesn't have to be that precise.

Okay, thanks
I just had no idea how much it was going to take.. I mean just a little over 1 liter, like you said 1.2liter, cant really make that big of a difference, but I would have wanted to buy more HydrX if it was going to be closer to two liters

Probably not. You have significantly less water in your loop than I do. I've got a dual 5.25" bay res, big heatercore and superfluous tubing. I should probably minimize that though. Maybe improved flow rates might drop my temps 1C or so.

I'd say roughly 7ft. I ordered 8' and had about a foot left over.

Just bench test it. Use the distilled water to fill up your system first. Make sure that you fill your HC fully and remove any trapped air. Keep count of how much water is going in. After you are done, just remove all of the water and measure it again to cross check.
