We both have thermochills, perhaps it is just flux then.

Sorry I missed your post. Seeing as this residue is white I think it is indeed Thermochill residue, other posts on these forums also say it looks like it. It's the only place in my loop where I found this residue though. I brushed it off with a toothbrush that's been demoted to computer cleaning, and some dish washing soap.

Cleaning the inside of a MCRES is a pain - I had to remove flux from mine (I was too lazy to rinse properly).

Here's what I did (and it worked a treat):

(if you don't have "Bounty" (now called "Plenty") then use any kitchen towel that is labelled as "strong when wet" - i.e. the stuff that won't fall apart in water)

That's a great idea! I'll try it this week if I have time.

Okay, I had som light brown stuff all over my loop.
In the res, pump, inside the heatkiller etc. And it won't come off with just a toothbrush or simular.
