What's the best way to clean the rad&block

[jerkie]

I just remounted my fuzion after I sleeved some cables and noticed a small white chunk that floated to the highest point in my loop when I had it on its side. So I have a little bit of a infection in the loop. I didn't clean the parts before I put the in so that is the cause most likely. The fluid that I used was a Feser One product which I have more of. Just looking for a good method of cleaning the parts after I drain it.

I used 5% white vinegar on my water blocks, and it cleaned them very well. Just be sure to rinse them thoroughly with distilled water when your done, and don't let the copper sit in there too long. After about an hour it can start eating the metal, or so I'm told. You can tell it is once the vinegar starts turning blue.

I would drain the system and run that feser one stuff thru a paper coffee filter to filter out any large particles. You can reuse it ;)

Then I wash the parts out with CLR (http://www.jelmar.com/CLRbasic.htm) then rinse out with distilled water a couple of times and you're good to go.

I like the reuse idea, I consider myself dutch through osmosis and to let that fluid go to waste after a couple weeks, it makes me cringe just thinking about it. Thanks for the tips!

Why not run distilled for a week or two then fill up with Fesser....If you must use it.

water and air preasure, and maybe some bleach.

Blocks - take them apart and scrub with toothbrush.

Radiator - vinegear or CLR. Add some vinegar and shake the radiator like crazy. Let it sit for about twenty minutes, repeat. Rinse with a wee bit a soap and hook a tube up to the faucet and flush with hot water. Don't apply too much pressure, the radiator metal is very thin. When your done rinsing with tap water, rinse a couple of times with distilled.

Tubing - push a paper towel with warm, soapy water through them with a skewer or hanger.

+1 for CLR. Just make sure you rinse it out a few times. CLR =FTW

Since the parts haven't really been used much they should be "factory clean", meaning no build-up - just debris. Vinegar works wonders for cleaning away the factory debris. I would rinse with tap water for awhile after the vinegar then do a final flush of distilled to clean the tap water out ...

CLR seems a little caustic to me though. I guess you just need to be careful.

One time, when I was younger, I put coffee cleaner in my coffee. I thought is was coffee CREAMER. It tasted very bad. I'm not sure why I'm telling you this. CLR kind of reminds me of how that tasted.

Sorry, I need to go to sleep. I've been awake all night at work.
