Cleaning water cooling stuff

You can clean it out with tap, but be sure to rinse very thoroughly with distilled afterwards,
I run a 90/10% mix of distilled and white vinegar, run that in the loop for a bit, then flush out with plain distilled, cycle again before draining and refilling with fresh plain distilled
maybe design your loop to loop into a plastic bucket, then you can hook it into that and walk away for an hour or so while the 90/10 mix cycles,

Well, I havent been using my water cooling kit for months now (been on air, because, well, ive been lazy). So I just decided to buy new tubing this morning and I hooked it all up and its busy running on my table here. I cleaned the res with distilled water and vinegar but I just thought that before I put back into my PC I should clean out the radiator and cpu block.

So should I disassemble everything and give it a good flush with only distilled? I can buy a few more bottles tomorrow morning if need be. I'm worried that there might be a bit of a gunk build up in the radiator (just looks a little funny when I looked through the hole for the barb). CPU block is clean as far as I can see.

Since im just testing it now at the moment can i throw in some white vinegar while leak testing?

For the CPU block, I used lemons, because we have a tree in the back   Just get 3-5 lemons depending on their size, and cut them in half. Then squeeze the juice into a small container and submerge parts of your CPU block in. After that, rinse with distilled water.
