Official EK statement - Nickel Plating Issues

[NaeKuh]

Would the water change every two months solve the issue?

no it would slow it down, but the result is the same without an inhibitor.

The fact is, you shouldn't have to use an inhibitor period.
And if we did have to use inhibitors, why is it ONLY on EK blocks?

If it was exactly like EK describes, then we should see it on Koolance, Swiftech, AquaComputers... but people have reported they see it on there gpu blocks, yet there koolance 360/370 is still brand spanking new.

So it points to faulty plating. And what CM is asking for is an appology from EK saying its faulty plating and a workable fix to the faulty plating, instead of telling us we cant run distilled in what would normally run OK in any other company nickle blocks, and only use premix while offloading the blame on our coolant.
