EK, the premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is releasing new loop cleaning and prepping solutions compatible with EK-CryoFuel coolants and all EK tubing types. The goal is to enable EK customers to extend their coolants' life and avoid contamination breakdowns by using safe and compatible chemicals. An added benefit for the customers is they can now get everything in the EK shop, avoiding additional transport costs.

The purpose of the EK-Cryofuel Loop Cleaner is to clean your existing loop before pouring in new coolant or to fully prepare a new, unused custom loop. It removes any manufacturing residues, impurities, and coolant stains. This is not a stand-alone product as it requires a subsequent use of the Superflush solution to pick up any residue from the cleaner and ensure maximum stability of your new coolant.
 
EK-Cryofuel Loop Cleaner comes as a concentrate in a 250 ml bottle and should be mixed with 1250 ml (1:5 ratio) of distilled water before use. It is poured into the water-cooling system and left to circulate from 2 to 24 hours.

EK-CryoFuel Superflush
EK-CryoFuel Superflush is a solution made for rinsing the EK-CryoFuel Loop Cleaner residue from your loop. Once you're done with your cleaning session using the EK-CryoFuel Loop Cleaner, you should circulate the Superflush solution for 15 minutes and drain it from your loop. Once your loop is cleaned out, another batch of Superflush should be used in the system. This time it should circulate for 24 hours before using the new coolant in your loop. If the Superflush foams too much, the pump speed should be reduced.

EK-CryoFuel Superflush comes as either a concentrate in a 250 ml bottle or a premix in a 1000 ml bottle. The concentrate option is to be mixed with approximately 2750 ml of distilled water (1:11 ratio). The premix option is ready for use out of the bottle. Superflush can be used as a stand-alone product to prepare a new loop for the coolant and extend its life, improve stability, and reduce soft tube yellowing.

EK-CryoFuel Loop Cleaner + Superflush (Concentrate 250 mL)
This is a combo of the two above mentioned products and is a perfect way to set up your custom loop water cooling system for a new coolant. EK-CryoFuel Cleaner is used first to clean out the dirt, and the remainder of the previous coolant, followed by the Superflush to make sure no chemicals from the cleaner remain in the loop.

Availability and Pricing
EK-CryoFuel Loop Cleaner and EK-CryoFuel Superflush are made in Slovenia, Europe, and are readily available for pre-order through the EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. The table below shows the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) with VAT included.
 
I believe the prices aren't too bad.

    chemical cleaning - I'm just not a big fan of it, unless the coolant looks like a swamp. 
     
    Besides if gunk is in the blocks & blocking the fins, your going to be disassembling the entire loop anyways

    I booted my main computer and it’s dual loops the other day, and a clearish/whitish thing moved around in both loops. Everything in them is EK, so I will likely test this stuff and see how it goes for flushing out the gunk.

    I typically use the EKWB concentrate with distilled water, and I think my batch may have been expired or close to expiring the last time I redid my loops, so it is likely time for a deep clean anyway.

    Or don't buy stupid dyes that break down within 6-12 months and you don't have to bother flushing regularly. Distilled water and good algaecide can last three years just with two capfuls and only nickel/copper stuff in the loop. Then you can expect your cooling equipment to outlast multiple systems.  Bought my MCP655 pump in 2006 or 2007 and it's been run 24/7 and still going strong, though it's run three different radiators and GPUs since then. 


    Have water, will cool.
