what's the longest anyone here has gone without ever cleaning/maintaining their water cooled setup (distilled water as coolant)?

I actually left mine for 3 years, after topping off the res after the first month or so I didn't notice any drop in levels or performance. When I came to upgrading parts and redoing my loop this summer everything was completely fine other than a bit of staining from some blue dye that I'd used.
