My Apogee GTX got the same green build up over time inside the waterblock. Only copper was used in the loop. Like you, I was using just distilled water. My tubing did not turn green, and the water was clear. Soaked the thing in CLR to clean it off.

Btw, I used deionized water, not distilled. And it was not so deionized I think.

TheMash, Do not use CLR, it's just more of the same acid based cleaning solution that you've been using.
Okay, no problem.Quote:

Anyway, thank for suggestions. Very very useful. You're very kind.
I started to clean everything today, with hot tap water only and then many wash with deionized water (another brand of course).
Maybe is it the time to open a thread for a worklog? :rolleyes: :)
