    Its all good man, as mentioned earlier... the thought of having to go through the whole draining, retubing and all every 6 - 8 months is just not what Im looking for. Yes, I was already aware of this procedure before I started but until I actually went through the whole tubing and routing process for the first time, it became evident that this was a pain in the pooper and wasnt going to be my cup of tea. I gracefully bow down and tip my hat to all you guys who have sweet kick ass rigs and had the patience to push through the little speed bumps and get 'er done.

    You don't need to get new tubing if you start out with very good tubing, such as Tygon B-44-4X, 2075, 2275, etc... Also, if you stick with plain distilled water and the only additive you use is for pH balancing, corrosion inhibiting and surface tension lowering, and contains no dissolved solids, you likely won't need to flush and replace your coolant either. At least not for a very long time.

    Water is worth it, trust me.

    I was using the Feser One coolant but figured on the first change I would go ahead and get that nice lookin Feser One UV tubing and go with distilled... ah well.
